Wooden Spool Rolls Up High Tensile
I built my own low-cost ATV-mounted sprayer using the tank off my big field sprayer. The tank rests in a homemade wooden saddle and has a pump on top of it and controls on front. One valve controls the flow to the boom and another one controls the flow to a hand wand that's attached to a 15-ft. hose. The rig has an 8-ft. long boom equipped with seven nozzles, and an off-center flat spray nozzle that's used to spray along fence rows. The nozzle covers a 68-in. wide area so it can spray both sides of the fence in one pass.
  I use a wooden spool on our loader tractor's hay forks to roll up high tensile wire that surrounds our pasture. The spool mounts on a 2 by 4 board with notches cut into it (not shown) and is held secure by a length of chain. The spool can handle up to a half mile of wire at a time.
