Hi Old, I was thinking of something on the windlass spool idea as it sounded like you wanted to keep it simple. By using a rope with a graplin hook or bar(s) just hold a double rap around the windlass spool for outward motion. For inward motion add a snatch block up high on the far end and again double rap the windlass spool. Two seperate ropes to make it a fast simple to hook up. I don't know how hard it would be to drive a pipe thru the center of each roll. Maybe a spreader bar with a clevis for each roll as that might pull best. That way you would just have to attach the clevis to the rope, rap around the windlass spool for either in or out. Then remove the pipe before you feed. You want something more automated? I specialized in automatic controls for HVAC and with those controls you can control just about anything for a reasonable price. T_Bone
