Do yourself a favor, and get an automatic. I washed in an old wringer machine till the motor gave out, couldn't find another, so I went with an automatic. Never go back! The spin cycle alone is worth having the machine. They come out dry enough that you just pop them a couple times and put them on the stretcher. When you turn, put on a dry stretcher, dont want to put a wet stretcher back into a dry coyote! Been doing it that way for years. Fans on at all times. I can usually turn within four hours, but will depend on the humidity in your shed.

The main reason I went with the wringer is after trapping season, I can shut the heat off and not worry about freezing up the washer. I suppose there is a way to blow water out of an automatic. When the old wringer gives up, I'll probably go modern.

Larry, when your done and going to turn off the heat, just pour a little RV antifreeze in it and turn on the pump for a minute, problem solved!

Anyone use one? Got any tips or advice? Specifically coyotes is what I was thinking of using it for.
