ATV-Pulled Fence Unroller
 ✖  |
Unwinding rolls of fencing by yourself is hard work. Kyle Carrigan of Corsicana, Texas, solved the problem by building an ATV-pulled, trailer-mounted fence unroller. He started with the axle off an old boat trailer. He shortened the axle to about 40 in. and mounted 14-in. wheels, then added a steel plate that's a little bigger in diameter than a 330-ft. roll of wire. He also added a tongue. The plate supports a length of 2,250-in. pipe that's the same height as the roll. The fence roll slides over the pipe.
"It works great. The trailer is the same width as the 4-wheeler and has enough ground clearance that I can get into some difficult locations," says Carrigan. "I can either pull the wire by hand or tie off to a pole and drive the fence unroller to the next pole. Once I get to the next pole, I cut the roll and then turn around and attach a winch to a strand of wire and stretch it, which cuts the time to build a fence in half. I spent only about $30 to build it."
