why not just leave it as is and put the excess chain in a bucket to keep it out of the dirt and clean... That way you can use the Hoist higher when needed...
I was doing this for a little while, but it's a loop, so you have to be pulling the chain back out of the bucket from the BOTTOM of the pile rather than the top. Sometimes it'll catch and pull some of the pile out, dumping it in the dirt.
