With the advent of hydraulics and more applications of technology applied to ranching facilities, hydraulic chutes have become a fixture on many ranches, or, at least, on many rancher's wish lists.
Progressive Cattle asked producers in an online poll whether they used a manual or hydraulic chute.

Manual: 80.95%
Hydraulic: 17.14%
