Homes made fencing tools

[Mf6260]

i'm interested in what amazing gadgets and modifications people have made to aid stock fencing. here is my one man barb wire unroller made from scrap scaffolding sorry for the rubbish pic ill get a better one when i use it next. but you get the idea

 

[Nearly]

Wire unroller and net unroller made one afternoon. It just slides onto pallet tines.

same barbed wire holder fits into box on back of bucket.

a 3" lump of galvanised roofing strap makes a good wire twister for joining net.

tool for twisting 5x3 posts when driving in with post knocker

 

[ARW]

Iv got all twisters for all post sizes apart from split stakes which i hate and refuse to use. The 5x3 twister doubles as a good tamp and I made another quick tamp from the PTO tube. Also my wire twister which isn't my best one

I did a bit of post and rail on Thurs, but couldn't find my little twister. All sorts of bodges with big twister and chocks followed.
This thread has inspired me.New twister made this morning.

now to find a bit of paint (once it cools).

A broken shear grab tine might fit inside the twister shaft.....

Just a rock spike to make now from an old buckrake tine.

I've made another 2 caps for my Kinghitter since I got it, one for sleepers which holds them captive, and one which has an open side and a couple of locating points for square posts.

and these are from last year, wanted to put knocker onto front of loadall to do an away job. (only loadall there). These were work in progress shots.

Next project is to mount hydraulic jackhammer on kramer brackets so I can use this

on front of the bobcat for a day knocking wallside 4" rounds in on some away land, and transport everything there with Disco and trailer.

It's amazing the different approach to make the same thing top job

Just a couple

Modified crow bar to lever out the wire pieces from concrete posts that hold the netting in place.

Piece of pipe is for extra leverage and both jaws have been cut deeper.

4"Sq attachment for the rock spike to allow us to put concrete posts in by bashing out a 4"Sq x 18"deep hole.

Also got a home built fencing machine that unrolls net or barb (not at same time)
&has a hydraulic clamp to tension

Id like to see the hydraulic clamp

What was the stick for? To pull it down into the right place?

Just what I was thinking.

 

[Tubbylew]

To hold it up more than anything, stops the barbs digging into your side when stapling up

Dad is quite proud of this, round iron bar which he flattened one end of, drilled three different sized holes in. Very good for twisting wire.

 

[cows sh#t me to tears]

Made this side shift carriage for my jcbView attachment 284538carries the augers and post guides for the Munro autodriverView attachment 284540
Has a full 4foot of side shift. This let's me get the post driver out past the door of the JCB and then the other way for the ring lock unroller/ stretcher that I made too. The pole that the ringlock sits over is hydrauliclly operated for easy loading and by using a sequencing valve it will go up first then the clamp will close . Holding the button the other way ,clamp opens then loading table cycles down. A tap in the clamp line allows me to hold the end of a roll and load another if doing a long run.

And I can also spin the driver a full 90° for those hard to reach places like a fence line near a table drain or channelView attachment 284546

They sell twisters in New Zealand that look exactly the same

2old combine rasp bars for pulling netting - 3 bolts to tighten up and the curve of the bars help grip the netting and pull tight with a small chain off the merlo headstock.

Apologies for hijacking the thread a bit but had this question in the livestock section but got no reply. Anyone know the name of this kind of strainer or links where they can be got for reasonable money .

You drill a hole in the post to fit them .

 

[Mf6260]

Never seen them before how does that work is it just for plain wire
