I've been moving dirt in for my new corral and starting to think about the concrete pad I'm placing under my squeeze chute. I'm going to place my chute on scale beams so I can weigh my cattle. So, I'm looking for components. Can anyone recommend a good brand for the digital brain unit and the sending units? I'm going to mount the senders directly to the bottom side of the squeeze chute. I see some units on ebay made just for this, but I don't which brands are good and what is cheap import stuff.
Attached are som pics of my dirt work. The dump truck is an early 70's model that was given to a friend. We just had to clean the carb and put a new fuel fiter on it. It's a blast to drive.
The dirt is coming from about a 1/4 mile away where I'm digging a pond. I can dig, load and dump about 5 loads in an hours time. I'm estimating I'm going to need 50 to 60 loads to fully level out my corral area. Some of the outside fencing work is already done so I don't have to get a fancy laser system to level things out. I'm loading with my JD 5420 with 4WD and shuttle shift.
