Simple ATV-Pulled Fence Unroller

Simple ATV-Pulled Fence Unroller ATV S Unwinding rolls of woven wire fencing is an easy job for Roland Girard of Cochrane Ontario who built an ATV-pulled trailer-mounted fence unroller He started with the axle and wheels off an old refrigerator dolly He lengthened the axle and used square tubing to build a tongue and hitch He added a plywood floor and welded a pipe to the axle that’s about the same height as the roll A slightly larger pipe slips over the welded-on pipe and is free to rotate To install the fence roll Girard flips the trailer on its side so the pipe is horizontal to the ground and then slides the roll of fence onto it “It works slick The trailer is the same width as the 4-wheeler and has enough ground clearance that I can get into some difficult locations ” says Girard “I tie the wire up to a pole and drive the fence unroller to the next pole zig zagging between the posts to create a fencing pattern that provides more strength Once all the wire has been unrolled I use a come-along to pull the fence tight ” Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Roland Girard P O Box 2395 Cochrane Ontario Canada P0L 1C0 ph 705 272-6191; rargirard@puc net
