Grandalf Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 Ever considered a car windscreen wiper motor?lol Most of us in Norfolk and Suffolk use windscreen wiper motors. Usually from lorries - bigger and stronger. Twenty minutes of welding of a few bits of scrap and you have a very tough magnet. Because of the larger motor you can put longer arms on without overloading. Heavy to lug about though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could use the donor lorry to take it to the fields! Wilksy, there are loads of suitable motors available on the Bay! Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Wilksy Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Thank everyone! I'm thinking just buy one,I enjoy making stuff but when you factor your time and materials in its not worth it really especially when it doesn't even work! Definatly need one though!
