Good point, the slew drives so have a hole through the middle. Depending on the size, it may not pass a 3" pipe through the middle or 3" may be undersized, but I'm sure the same idea scales to larger and smaller sizes.

How much did you end of paying for the slew drive, and is it 12v or 24 volt?

is it 12v or 24 volt?

Post #53 shows 24-volt

Too much.
It's been a while, so the cost fades, maybe $500+
