Two-Wheeled Cart Made To Roll Up Barbed Wire
 ✖  |
I made a two-wheeled cart to roll up barbed wire as I build fences. It can be towed behind an ATV or tractor. By pulling a 5/16-in. pin, I can remove the tongue and pull the cart by hand for use in tight places. The cart mounts on two wheelbarrow tires and is constructed mainly of 1 1/2 and 1 3/4-in. sq. tubing. The wire roll is sandwiched between two wooden discs. One disc is fixed to the spool axle, which I made from 1 1/2-in. dia. pipe, and the other is fixed to a removable bushing which locks in place by tightening a 1/2-in. lock bolt. The top half of the yoke supports are hinged to open up so I can remove the wire spooler. My total investment cost was less than $75. Most of that was for the tires. (Marlin Mullins, Hammond, La.)
