Rappa fencing barrow

A few years ago I made it so the quad pushed it along, worked quite well,I have seen others side mounted
Right just thinking if it was side mounted could drive along and grab posts out as I go
we have a barrow,it could only be made better by running it over with the quad several times
,i think @unlacedgecko did something with an old barrow

Thanks for the tag.
I cut it into pieces!
When I upgraded to the ATV system I used the axle of my barrow as a front unwinded.
Surely still got to be better then hand reelswe have a barrow,it could only be made better by running it over with the quad several times
Ah right was wondering if I could somehow join it to run along side the quad maybe

It's ok for short runs
Made my back ache
several times fell on top of it when I hit a rut
Then cut it up to fix on front of quad.
Bought an atv one,worth every penny

Done it like this for years
Hard to see but there is a bar running between quad frame and a tab on the axle of the barrow. Very good for steep ground which is why I made it because the weight is on the ground and I run 800 m on the reels which are heavy.
Negative is bike is a bit away from posts when running by hedges but I have to put one foot on the ground when I pull out posts because I’ve a knackered shoulder and can’t pull them out on the move.
Extra box brilliant for moving everything in one go and room for the dog
no,it;s a twit
perfect,pass me the welder
Just what I was thinking of does it work well on ruff ground

As much as any small wheeled thing would. Bar at the front is the important bit as it is slightly pulling it and stopping it digging in. Probably a rapper one on the bike would be a lot faster in rough conditions.

We used to have one that sat in the shed, while I used (non-geared) hand reels in preference.
Get a proper ATV winder, it's an altogether different beast.

Just remember an atv winder will still be worth high % of what you paid for it at the end. Mine was made out of scrap and that’s what it’s worth. The winder wasn’t available when I made mine but I stick with mine because it is quicker to set up, just as quick and better on steep stuff.
If you value you time an atv winder is dirt cheap for the amount of time/energy you will save. It’s the proper job.

Don't do enough to justify a atv one yet it's on the wish list just thought I'd be able to speed the job up with the barrowWe used to have one that sat in the shed, while I used (non-geared) hand reels in preference.

Yeh it's just a lot to spend on one when I don't really do enough to justify it and there's a barrow in the shed if you get what I mean

Get an ATV winder. You'll do a lot more fencing when it's easier.
Electric fencing = sub division = improved grazing management
Only have to fence grass land at the moment so hopefully the barrow should speed the job up over the old Rutland hand reels
