Multiple spin-jennys?

CrashTestRanch · #1 08/03/10, 01:00 PM

Anyone got any ideas for running multiple rolls of barbed or high-tensile fencing?

I'm a one man operation/labor and looking to build DIY something to possibly hook-up on a 3pt or a ranch atv type setup, possibly on a small trailer?

Totally unprofessional, but we had an old anchor for a telephone/power pole laying around, so my DH put a piece of metal on the bottom (actually a piece of an old disc) and then a roll of barbed on top of that. Then another piece of metal and another roll. We only had room for three rolls with our 'setup', but it worked. This whole thing attached to our 3 pt tractor. My DH had also made long pole/lift, I don't know what you call it, but it's just a long pole with some chain and a hook on the end and we use it for lifting things.

Did any of that make any sense?

Most people set the spinning jenny on the ground then pull. It takes two people, one watching and one pulling. I have the spinning jenny elevated and welded in place to a small trailer that I pull with the ATV. I can monitor what is happening as the wire is paid out from the spinning jenny and do not have to concern myself with what is happening back at the starting point. Additionally, I have all the tools with me. My spinning jenny is an office chair turned upside down!

I think you posted a pic of it here on HT somewhere. My girl will be down in the city making the money at a job, while I do the labor up here. Might see her on the weekends, but not sure.

So, I'm going at this as you did, one man labor pool. There's a bunch of "junk" left from the previous owners laying all over this land. Guess I'm going to go scrounging thru it, and see what I can't come up with.

These things are pretty impressive:
