We are busy modernizing the old dairy barn, bringing her into the 1950's with a hay conveyor running the length of the barn hung from the peak. Its a 60 ft Allied and it came with a nice rope pull kick off you can run from one end to the other.
Of course we are at the complete wrong time of year to be doing this. Its 36 feet or so from the mow floor to the peak, there are 3 beams at 10 feet off the floor but that doesn't help much.
How do I get up to the old hay track to hang the conveyor? It was a pull through centre load barn.
I'm not really happy about putting up 6 lifts of free standing scaffolding on top of hay / pole floor, and that only gets me to one hanger. Also not really happy about climbing 60 feet of skeleton conveyor to the old rope window near the peak that needs enlarging.
Roof pitch is 12/12 steel on the top pitch (gambrel)
Do I need to break down and rent one of those towable manlifts?
Should I install a winch and cable at each support so I can lower the conveyor for motor servicing?
Surprisingly little information about hay conveyor installation on the web beyond Loyal Roth's website.

I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
