Trailer-Mounted Wire Winder

Trailer-Mounted Wire Winder WAGONS/TRAILERS Miscellaneous 24-6-13 Anyone who has a lot of fence to put up or take down will be interested in this trailer-mounted wire winder put together by South Dakota farmer Francis Grabinski. He mounted a small gearbox off an old combine at the back of a trailer that he made out of the running gear from a grain elevator. A hydraulic motor chain-drives the gearbox. Home built spools û made with 1-in.dia.pipe and concave disc blades û roll up wire. There are several spool holders on the trailer and plenty of room for posts and tools. Grabinski pulls the trailer behind a tractor, running hydraulic hose back to quick couplers on the wire winder. "I can roll up to 1/2 mile of wire per spool. Makes fence work easy and much quicker," says Grabinski. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Francis Grabinski, 36247 170th St., Rockham, S. Dak. 57470.
