Shielded Barbed Wire Unroller Mounts On 4-Wheeler
As a custom builder of fences, I usually work alone. I got tired of having barbed wire come off the roll and catch on me, or get so badly tangled that I had to cut off the tangled-up part and discard it. I solved the problem by making a shielded barbed wire unroller that mounts permanently on the rear rack of my 4-wheeler.
  The shield is made from the bottom end of a 275-gal. fuel oil barrel. A steel pipe that runs through the shield supports the roll of wire. This pipe fits inside another pipe that bolts onto the ATV. An old disc blade bolted onto one end of the pipe keeps the roll secure.
  The shield completely covers an 80-rod roll of barbed wire and is big enough that I have plenty of room to install the roll of wire on the pipe. (Roger F. Schafer, 16746 Hawk Drive, Birmingham, Iowa 52535 ph 319 293-3242)
