Re: Insights from 2000?

A scissor link mechanism will work, however, they are usually associated with having poor lateral stability. We used a scissorlink lift in 2000 to get the balls to the trough, and I can tell you, it swayed from side to side quite a bit. You can beef it up enough to avoid this, but it might be quite heavy.
