There’s a h and s sayingVery, very true.
Bending down while rolling wire up, is bloody hard work.
Get some other f er to do it

could you use the plastic centre from a roll of bale wrap to roll the wire up with, then some sort of a tapered spike to push into the plastic roll and connected to a motorNot hard to knock something up if you have an old hydraulic motor and you can turn the flow rate on the tractor right down. If you have a hydraulic top link as well, it's not difficult to wind it on straight, despite @Bury the Trash 's pessimism.
And it rolls out again fine, provided there are no torn bits.
Herself is a dab hand... or rather, WAS.There’s a h and s saying

One of the loader mounted bale unroller spike??could you use the plastic centre from a roll of bale wrap to roll the wire up with, then some sort of a tapered spike to push into the plastic roll and connected to a motor
Don’t worry it gets everyone in the endHerself is a dab hand... or rather, WAS.
Old age crept up on us both. Scrappies have the wire now!
Oh it has......Don’t worry it gets everyone in the end
The number of sheep on my shearing tally is the biggest tell tale of ageOh it has......
However, I had a letter this morning telling me my State Pension is going up by 8%!! Winner!!
As above, SoloWrap
One of the loader mounted bale unroller spike??
Hughes Bros in Oswestry used to make them....
I dont shear sheep. Did half of one about 1976/77, never since....The number of sheep on my shearing tally is the biggest tell tale of age
Yes definitely. It took a bit of tweaking of oil flow, gear selection, engine speed and knowing what vegetation was too much for it to rip through. But this was an early model and they may have improved again.Is it rolled up in a reusable state, assuming it's good/new'ish wire that is worth putting up of course?
You thinking of taking your fencing with you when the tenancy is up?I'd roll up one or two x 100m by hand, but could be a fair bit. Not sure yet, just looking at options.
Nothing in fencing seems to beNot cheap is the answer
I made one as well.One of the loader mounted bale unroller spike??

I haven't, hope you're not getting preferential treatment.Oh it has......

Like the oil drum trick. Easy enough to put a spindle for pig netting.I made one as well.
Hydraulic motor drive.
frame needs plating/guarding out to stop bits falling in around the workings a disc on the spkes would hold a roll of net better apart from that it would do the job .Bale unrollers for filling ring feeders?
Pictures please actually we are still just using ordinary spike atm manually slipping hay into 2 side by side ring feeders fairly easy to with short dry grass. bits get in yr eyes tho :rolleyes: and also if ive done the baling the bales wont be as tight ..... this it simple frame welded into...thefarmingforum.co.uk
Rarely pick up net now, and if we do its rolled by hand. not like in the old dys when we used to fence kale for sheep with sheep netting and a sledge hammer when the steel 'hook on ' posts ran out spent hours and hours doing that character build ing.
p.s. that gearbox is far more useful in that than on them inter 440 balers i used to have
