Re: Polycord on tote intake: recipe for disaster?
We've had success with polycord intakes in the past by making our own pulleys for the cord to ride along.
Additionally, in our 2013 intake, we used the polycord like a chain or a belt between the sets of wheels. This made it so it all rotated unless the disc couldn't push further up in our hopper, in which case the polycord would break traction with the pulleys and not destroy the discs.
We don't plan on using any polycord in our rollers this year, but best of luck to you!
