will this motor auto reverse if the food catches something and stops the motor

James..... hmmmm, I have never had that happen, so I dont really know if it will reverse. Most likely not since its such a simple contraption.

Not sure but I doubt it. I expect a hundred dollar garage door opener to have reverse but not an inexpensive grill motor.

I did fine going backwards; it maneuvered fine. It does NOT turn on a dime, but at times backing out of places was easy enough. Hope this helps.

No. You should know that jn order to pull it backwards you must release the self-propulsion handle, push the mower it forward just a bit to free the front wheels from the drive mechanism. If you don't, the front drive wheels will drag without turning. I agree with Scott. I am looking to get rid of the thing.

No it doesn't stop automatically. It works very well as you can see when it is finished cutting. The top will begin spinning.

As long as the leads are connected properly, it should replace all auto feeders. Because all it does is tell the spinners when to spin.

Yes! This machine has a reverse with a push of a button. It is a great machine.

Well, that would depend on your strength. If you press hard enough, you could definitely stop the motor, but it is pretty strong. That's the problem I had, the motor is strong enough to break the plastic piece that connects to it.

No the device does not reverse however as long as you use reasonably sized fruit(not too large) it gets all of the juice. We like this machine very much and use it almost every day.

It will go both ways but un sure of torque, usually you wouldn't use any click type or digital wrench to torque in reverse . I think there design to torque forward .

Yes it does reverse. Not sure of the exact speed, similar to the forward driving speed.

No, the food drops into a closed cylinder that rotates to drop the food to the dish, then rotates back to be solid. We had a cat that broke multiple previous drop feeders like this. This one, however, he has not been able to steal single piece of food in the years we've had it.

Nope. One speed and it has reverse also if needed if you get a clog. Just used mine last night actually for the last of the garden tomatoes. I froze them all to make my sauces in a few weeks

If it senses anything in front of a sensor, it will change direction. It will really only stop if it gets caught under something and can't move away or it sucks up something that makes the rotating things in it stop moving

Probably so. It has an overload sensor that is supposed to auto shut off if the load is too high or the wheels cant spin. You leave it alone for a few minutes and it resets itself.

Yes, I use it mainly for grapefruits and it works great. It doesn't auto reverse.

No, it does not auto reverse. You need to remove the tape and turn it over.

It is not set up to reverse, however, it is a two wire 12v DC motor, and you could put a double pole double throw (DPDT) switch in the power feed to reverse the polarity, and thus the motor direction
