[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 7550678, member: 63856"] I have a reed switch at the "top" position which kicks out a transistor that runs the winch motor. I use a plastic shower curtain ring on the outside of the tube with a small neomidium magnet glued to it, but what I found can happen is that a "too tight fence", especially a 3 wire with the bottom too tight, it leans the whole pole over and pulls the magnet away from the reedswitch inside. This means the circuit just keeps power to the winch, which then snaps the cord and keeps running empty. Ideally I'd run an insulated foot, and use an alloy pole so nothing wants to rub on it while 'up' - and have it lower the wire in 30 minutes after the set shift time You'd do it much more prettily with a kiwitech spring and a battlatch - or copy - and just have it release the fence skyward from a locked down position [/QUOTE]
