The funnel is hanging from a rope, which is routed through a pulley about 60ft above the ground. The rope then travels to a winch cable and winch mounted on the ground. The winch has a remote control so you can walk around the grove and position the funnel.

I have to say I applaud this kind of commitment and technical ability!
Thanks, glad you appreciate it. I guess I like building things and wanted to see if it would work.
