Bowman Model 3000 Hydraulic ChuteApprox 15 years oldWas in full working condition when removed from barn. 102"x88"x72"Scales not included.The Model 3000 utilizes two hydraulic cylinders on the headgate and two on the tailgate, thus eliminating linkage arms and a lot of wear points. The headgate cylinders are synchronized via a gear-driven flow divider that causes the two headgate doors to operate at the same moment, in time with each other.Manufactured for medium/large cattle feeding operations, the expanded metal located on the upper part of the headgates allows the operator to synchronize procedures with the person on the other side of the chute... a very good safety factor.The Model 3000 comes with the noise free vane pump and quiet power unit which maintains proper distance and alignment between the pump and the motor, utilizing a "C-faced flange." The lower access doors are similar to the 2800 series, made up of heavier sheeting and removable, as in all of the hydraulic chutes.The center twister has a double impellar, one at each end, to assist in keeping the side panels from twisting. All points in the linkage of the impellar have replaceable bushings and are greaseable.
