Subject: Re: Silo unloader winch


Sac & Story county IA
I have a winch with about 100:1 reduction and a 2 hp motor on it. I have 100 feet of wire on it to control it. I have mine strung with 250 feet of 1/4 inch cable. Any bigger cable and I run out of spool space. 100 feet up and 100 feet back down, you need that much. Have the belt loose enough to slip and burn off before the winch can do any damage if a relay would weld the points or drop something on the control wire and short it out and keep pulling. And the operator way up there.
