3-Pt Mounted Wire Unroller FENCING Miscellaneous Unwinding rolls of barbed wire fencing is an easy job for Tony Smallwood of New London Mo since he made a 3-pt mounted wire unroller The unroller clips onto the 3-pt ’s lower lift arms and is fitted with a clip-on “safety rod” that keeps the wire from snapping back and injuring the operator It also doubles as a wire stretcher The unroller is made from 1-in steel tubing and comes with a 12-in long metal arm which is threaded at both ends and screws onto 2 side pieces A big washer is welded on near one end of the arm To install the wire roll the operator unscrews one of the side pieces from the arm and slides the roll over the arm Then he slips on a 6-in long pipe - which also has a washer welded to it - and screws the side piece back onto the arm The safety rod goes through both of the roll’s handles and is inserted through a series of pre-drilled holes in both side pieces The holes allow Smallwood to adjust the rod’s height depending on the size of the roll “The design works great on hilly land because I can pull the wire tight and fasten it to the post before I move up or down the hill so the wire always stays in place ” He carries various fencing tools with him in a 3-gal bucket which attaches to a big “dog hook” that he clips onto one of the side pieces “I always keep with me such tools as hammers bars a fence stretcher pliers staples and so forth ” says Smallwood He says the wire unroller’s universal design allows it to be made bigger or smaller for other tractors Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Tony Smallwood 64438 Old 79 New London Mo 63459 ph 573 406-1501; tony6584@yahoo com
