I'm sure you will recieve several answers with all the math done of how to assure that you have the correct torqued drive and motor with a well caluculated speed to match the speed you will be ask to provide..... but.... Logical solves are often already done, the engineering and research and development already proven. ... To this concept allow me to offer a simplistic answer, simple and already "done" is often a wise decision? Purchase a winch designed and sold to go on jeeps. Add a battery and a battery charger and count your reliable blessings. The winch on my Land Cruiser has a cable 150 feet long and will pull 8000 lbs. This product is produced by Warren and can be purchased on line from several Jeep and Land Cruiser supply houses. You have no need for 8000 lbs, but the over design simply means you won't be over working the winch and will not be burning up the battery. When only pulling 500 lbs at about 35 degrees it will boost the load along at a nice rate of about walking speed. I'm sure if it were me, I'd cut to the chase and do it this way. "If it ain't broke, then don't fix it" ... I've used my winch on several occasions and find it quite impressive. There is a provision for running a remote forward/off/reverse switch. With this method you could build yourself a nice cart with a bit of weight. In fact a bit of weight would assist in deployment back down the shoot by dragging out the cable. good luck, -randy- The worst suggestion of your lifetime may be the catalyst to the grandest idea of the century, never let suggestions go unsaid nor fail to listen to them.

For that rise I would put a small gas engine on the cart and ride it along with the load. Purchasing a used riding mower and using the drive and gears to power an on board winch with the cable anchored at the top of the hill is one way to do the job. You have forward and reverse and different speeds on many lawn tractors that should give ample power and speed. Just add a cargo box and you are done.
