If you've got a skid steer loader and 2 shovels you'll be time, money and misery ahead by far to haul the chain out of the gutter and clean it by hand into the loader bucket. We had a Patz for 30 years. I pushed the slide over last June and hauled the chain out. There will never be another. Patz is probably easier to fix but I can assure you... when they get older, you're going to do plenty of fixing. The last day here... I think the chain jumped the bull wheel more than 20 times and we never got it around the barn. That was F*****g well it, right then and there.
If you go with a new one, do yourself a big favor and go with an EvacuAir system. Eliminate the outside boom, the frozen chain and 70% of the strain on the chain. A Patz would probably last quite well in that situation. We're in the process of planning a freestall so we just decided to tuff it out for a while with the shovels. If it was an extended period of time then I'd make a pusher for the loader and bust the reverse corner out of the concrete.... but I will NEVER buy another gutter cleaner.
