The carriers are made for a 1" rope Larger would not go in and smaller would not fit in mounts correctly. And I have seen when the complete unit came down while loaded in the mow, luckily no one was under it at the time. Don't remember how many bales were on it at the time. It was back up and operating the next day, I have no idea how they got up to it. And that was possibly only 3 years ago and it was in use last year, team of horses pulling load up, I think it was considered to heavy a load for one horse. It is still in my barn but not used since 1954. Rented farm used one in 60's-70's and I cannot see how one person could do it. Was one sticking fork, one on trip-pull back rope, one on tractor pulling load up and 2 people in mow stacking. And the bales will not spread out to fill mow and if you just drop in pile very hard and dangerous to get out, you cannot clime on stack to take out and having to pull out from under hard to get them out and when you get some out the rest of stack might come down on top of you. We ended up cutting a door in sidewall of barn for elevator as it was second mow and unreachable other wise. I first helped in putting up the hay in that barn when I was 13 in 59. I was tractor driver for baler. That was the last year neighbor was alive and I was second person to see him when he died. Heart atack while forking out the cow barn, laying on his back in the manure with the fork across his chest, something a young boy does not forget. We farmed the place for years after.
