How to adjust the headgate
yokes
After determining what size animals are
going to be worked, set the yoke width to
about the same width as the animals’ neck
size. Initial adjustments are made by
removing the top bolts and nuts and
lower pins and clips and setting the yoke
tubes to the desired width (settings 1-3).
Neck width settings are:
Narrowest - Setting 1 = 4-1/8”
Setting 2 = 7-1/8”
Widest Setting 3 = 10-1/8”
Mounting the headgate to wooden posts
First, install 6” dia. wood posts at 33-1/8” center
to center as shown. Set post in ground to a
depth that is adequate for your soil conditions.
Posts should be no more than 70” out of the
ground.
Next, lean the headgate up against the post and
mark out the hole spacing, or use the diagram as
shown.
Then, drill four 5/8” dia. holes through the post.
Bolt the headgate to the post. Bolting hardware
is customer supplied. We recommend ½” dia. x
8” long bolts. Use ½” washers to prevent the
head of the bolt from digging into the post.
