Tumblewheels Electric Fence

Tumblewheels Electric Fence FENCING Fence Systems 3-2-15 Latest new wrinkle in electric fencing is Tumblewheels, developed by a farmer in New Zealand where it reportedly has caught on fast. Said to be especially suited for controlled or rotation grazing, the fence "walks" itself into position. To move it, you simply wind the wire at one end and the entire fencerow of Tumblewheels automatically and effortlessly marches into line. The Tumblewheels can be moved freely over rolling terrain and are generally spaced 30 to 60 ft. apart. On original models, the wire had to be threaded through each wheel. New models are designed with a clip-on feature which eliminates having to "needle thread" each wheel. Individual wheel spindles are large enough to take a wire knot, and insulated to prevent grounding of the wire. Kit of five wheels sells for right at $85 fob.
