I think your 41 hp tractor will handle a conveyor that size without any problem. I've got a 1585 Batco with a 20 hp electric motor on it and I think the book recommends a minimum of 45 hp tractor if it was pto drive. In fact I'd like to sell it too! You'll want to check bearings and look the belt over for rodent holes or damage, which I understand is a possibility. Keeping the belt tensioned and aligned are important, but on the Batco those things are easy to do. Never been around a Convey-All. You can check the website for specs. On a 15" belt model like I have, I think the max capacity is 6,000 bhp, but alot depends upon the angle and the grain you're moving. The steeper and dryer the grain is the less it will move.
