The only tricky part can be getting the bite to start, but once it grabs you can pull as hard the carcass will allow. Only time I have much of an issue is with big boar coon that have a couple gallons of fat on them after skinning and that's only getting the gate to grip. Never would I build another skinning machine without a gate instead of clamps. In the image you can see where it grabs. Once the hide is dry though you cant tell. Also if your overhead room is limited you can lower the carcass and get another bite and keep pulling.

They both preform well with lower ceilings. The guys who use them swear theirs is the best whichever one they have. I think the main difference would be the gate is slightly faster in operation but only seconds difference.
