Portable cattle tubs

Some people might not consider this as much a tool
as I would but I'm looking at portable 90 degree tub
systems. So far the one I like the best is made by
arrow. I'm not looking to hold a bunch of cows that's
what sorting pens and corrals are for. Just want to
hear if anyone has one or been around one and
what brand and what they liked or didn't like.
Thanks guys
 
I have an arrow headgate and squeeze, it took some getting used to the catch for the headgate, you have to close the headgate manually, it doesn't auto catch, but I like the way it works... Neighbour bought the whole system, crowding tub, alleyway and squeeze, he likes it. I only have 50 cows, had the squeeze 7 or 8 years now, not problems yet...
 
I've got a Behlen system. Self catching headgate. I cheeped out and got a tub that's just tubes,no panels. If you can do it,get the one with enclosed panels so they can't see out.
 
I have a Sioux portable tub. I like it and it has held up well. It is a similar version as in the picture. Just will the single chute.

I would seriously consider a Parasal tub from Valentine Nebraska.I have used a number of them over the years and they hold up well, and are easy to transport and set up.
After using tubs for a number of years, I would rather use a semi Bud box and double alley. Just a thought.
 
Picked up an arrow squeeze, tub and alley. Haven't used it yet. But what sold me was the Q catch head gate. It never has to be adjusted. Our old self catch was always the wrong size for the animal that you had in. One to cow to tight. Then put a smaller heifer in and she would pull her head out. Also got the bud flow tub. But in doing more research about the "bud flow" way of handling cows I may have done things different. But it's here now.

I really like the chute and alley one the arrow too. The chute is mind blowing. I went and looked at one yesterday that a guy just got. Someone has put some serious think time in
