Lead Bucking Chute - Hi-Hog
Pound for pound, the best bucking chutes available
Hi-Hog’s bucking chutes are designed from the ground up to deliver enhanced safety, reliability, and functionality. This is a big, strong, lean and responsive bucking chute.
The lead bucking chute is the first chute the rough stock will enter. The lead chute is longer than the add on chutes as it includes a blocking door at both ends of the chute. The lead chute is available with either a left hand or right hand exit.

A strong and agile bucking chute.
Great care has gone into the design to deliver you outstanding functionality and highly responsive controls. The offset hinges allow the release gate to swing back flat against the face of your bucking chutes. The hinges include custom-made grease-less Tivar® bushings for exceptionally smooth performance. Additionally, the hinges have been set in a contoured frame to minimize hazardous projections, improving the safety and security of both stock and rider.
Responsive and reliable release latch
The release gate latch provides exceptional responsiveness and reliability. The solid spring-loaded lever latch is set in two heavy steel guides lined with Tivar® for near frictionless operation. To ensure the gate responds quickly under pressure the solid square steel plunger glides on another sheet of Tivar®. Tivar® components use high grade Tivar® with UV inhibitors for outdoor use.
Tivar® provides:
excellent abrasion resistance
low coefficient of friction
no moisture absorption
corrosion resistant
excellent noise abatement
excellent impact strength
maintains key physical properties to -30° C
Many bucking chutes include open slots behind the latch of the release gate. These open slots can get you in a lot of trouble very quickly. This gap is all a bull needs to reach a horn through and open the gate on their own. To avoid this hazard Hi-Hog has installed a steel guard behind the latch controls.
Large, open and efficient catwalks
Keeping spectators happy has a lot to do with the efficiency of operations behind the bucking chutes. To make this job easier Hi-Hog widened the catwalks to just over 51 inches and surfaced the catwalk with heavy expanded metal mesh to ensure excellent traction at all times.
Sheeted smooth on the inside of the chutes
Operator friendly rolling doors
To make life behind the chutes even better Hi-Hog eliminated the upper door rail. The rolling doors travel smoothly on a shortened upper track with support from a lower track and guide. With the upper door rail gone movement behind the chutes is wide open for more efficient operations.
The door frame is filled with heavy 10-gauge sheet metal and then the lower 4’ of each door is clad with an additional protective layer of 3/4” rubber.
Hi-Hog's door locks are simple and safe to operate and lock automatically when closed.
To ensure stockmen and competitors can easily access the elevated walk we offer optional stairs complete with handrail. These stairs are designed to pin on to the center of any catwalk section.
Modular Components
Hi-Hog’s bucking chutes are based on a modular design which makes it easy to start with one chute and add additional chutes at a later date. The starting chute includes two blocking gates. Additional chutes include only one block gate. To attach Hi-Hog panels directly to the last chute you will require the panel adapter frame. This panel adapter frame bolts to the end chute and includes connectors which will tie in with any Hi-Hog panels.

Bucking Chute Components:
The Bucking Chutes are available in left hand or right hand release options. When the bull is in the chute, his nose will be at the hinge end of the chute. If the release gate is on the bulls right side the chute is referred to as a right-hand chute.
