Quad/ rappa fencer/ winder type thingy

[Al R]

Ah thank you- I've dealt with Marcus in the past when I got a prattley- didn't realise he did that as well. He's a top bloke and good to deal with, will give him a bell!

He does prattley and rappa then does he?

I must admit I don't like the quad mounted system, mainly because I trail the quad anyway so it seems easier to use the trailer mounted version.

Absolutely awesome bit of kit though.

New Rappa and 2nd hand Prattley. The Allflex group are sole UK distributors for new Prattley products.

It's easy to make a front mount for a Rappa and make it just as fast.

@unlacedgecko Do you use your rappa on the front of you bike for putting fences up? Any pictures?

It's the axle from a Rappa barrow held on by 2 bits on angle iron.

Don't tell Marcus - he thinks its blasphemy to put a fence out like this...

That's excellent. It must be a lot faster putting everything up in one pass? I'm going to make one this weekend!

I find it much much faster. Don't get the fences as straight or even, but they are only up a couple of days due to my paddock grazing system.

Can always do it the normal way for longer term fences if you want them straight.
I really really like the idea and will definitely be using it.

I never found it much quicker although my front mounting kit wasn't as refined as yours all I do now is go around unrolling and put the corner posts in at the same time and maybe the odd plastic stake, tighten it and the go around and put the stakes in afterwards. I hear of some people putting in every stake as they go and that must make for a slow old job and a lot of walking

With hills, lumps and bumps here it makes a better fence if the posts go up with the wire. Won't take long to make 1 to try.

I'd like some of those sheep you can keep in with only 2 strands...

This is just for reeling out as others do.

Most ewes and hoggs stay behind two strands but I can put another reel on the top for three if there is a busy road or the sheep have been b'stards

Likewise, I rarely use more than 2 strands.

For 2nd hand Rappa kit speak to Marcus at the above.

Will these guys be any cheaper for rappa pre loaded reels than rappa? Tried to get some discount from rappa on a whole new mains system but not interested in giving discount anymore Kiwikit seem a lot more keener.
