It'd probably be faster and easier to just pull the bucket out yourself. How
much load can a full bucket be?


I'm sure it would be faster. But I don't think it would be easier
than sitting down and pushing a button while I sip a cold glass of
water.

Though before I spend a lot of effort making the winch work I probably
ought to get the ramp & sled in operation and see how much effort is
really needed.

I had planned on resting for the 5 minutes or so it would take to pull
the sled up the ramp. If I can pull it up with a couple pulleys in
1 minute, I suppose I could just sit for the other 4.g
