How about a few pictures of your current rig while you're

comment, comment, argue after a few pictures


I can do one better. Its an Ag-rain T23A. Here's the parts manual:

Hi Karl,

From what you have said in other posts you must have the PTO
option installed on this rig.

How about gutting an old electric golf cart and coupling the
wheel drive to the PTO input spline. Then set up a
programmable timer to goose the old golf cart foot pedal
every so often to reel in the line. The golf cart parts are
pretty common and easy to come by. This could be uncoupled
pretty quickly if you hook into the PTO spline.

Just an idea...
