Simple Barbed Wire Unroller

Simple Barbed Wire Unroller FENCING Miscellaneous 28-6-3 When Lawrence Bauer of Lucasville, Ohio, needed a one-man barbed wire unroller, he hit on a simple idea that he says is easier to use than anything on the market. He drilled a hole in the corner of his Deere 460 loader and inserted a long 1-in. threaded rod and bolted it in place. Then he put a piece of pipe over it so the wire spool would revolve on the rod. Washers at both ends keep the spool on while bolts hold it to the loader. "Once mounted, it is simply a matter of unrolling the wire while the tractor is stationary or fastening the wire to a post and then slowly driving the tractor along," Bauer says.
