Teaspoon, here's the one I'm using right now, 3 gates on it and 2 compartments. The front gate nearest the machine is on hinges so that you have quick open and close if you are alone. The middle gate is a drop gate and is about half the width of the trailer so that when you untie a hog in the front compartment, hog(s) already in the back part don't have as much opportunity to come forward into the front because it's occupied already. It's also on the opposite side away from the hinged gate so that the hogs head is on that end when you release it. Unless it's a smaller hog they can't turn around in the front compartment and will go right on in the back soon as you raise the gate. That gate also has a spring loaded pin so that it can be pinned in the up position if need be or so it holds tight against the gate when in the down position to eliminate rattling. The middle partition and gate are solid so that previously loaded hogs aren't swatting at you plus when unoccupied you can put dogs in there with hogs in the back part and not worry about accidents, barking, or trying to catch through the wire. The back gate slides side to side so you can back tight up against wherever you choose to uunload. A spring loaded latch also holds tight against that one to eliminate rattling or to bind it when only partially opened. The trailer is balanced so that even loaded like in this picture, one person can maneuver it if need be. It also sit high enough that it doesn't bottom out in low spots and such. It's been working so far. I was in the process of adding the top rail in this picture. From top rail to the trailer top I used expanded metal so dogs didn't accidentally step through panels and break something or get hung up. And yes this hog was smart. I had taught him to sit and stay already. He was also over 300 pounds just to give you an idea about space.
