Bales should be
"pulled toward" electric-motor drive end. However, if elevator
is mounted on a transport, drive end must remain on the ground and "push
bales".

Use
2.8" O.D. Type A motor pulley on horizontal
conveyor and incline elevator.
Use
a farm-rated, totally enclosed, fan-cooled motor
(with a manual-reset overload protector), rated
between 1725 to 1800 RPM.
NOTE: The
above chart is only a guide - the size, shape and weight of your bales;
angle of elevator; and desired speed may affect your installation.
Remember, bales are more effectively pulled than pushed. Less horsepower
is required when pulled!
