ROPE TOW
ROPE TOW
(OP)
Hello
I am part of a small ski/snowboard club that is looking at building a small rope tow. I found an old thread on here that linked to plans that have been taken offline.
Does anyone have any experience or know of available plans for a small backyard rope tow?
We have visited a few home made rope tows locally, but it would be interesting to see if someone has available plans.
thanks

Rope tows run continuously.
A starter motor would burn in minutes.
Starter motors also run _way_ too fast when they're not loaded.
Better to use the starter motor to start an engine, and also use the complete drivetrain, right down to a wheel sans tire to drive the rope.
