Wire Winder Attaches To Post Hole Auger
Owners Glenn and Janea Danuser build and market the wire winder at their Fulton, Mo., shop.
The Python Wire Winder attaches to any hydraulically-powered auger drive on a tractor or skid steer with a 2-in. hexagon mounting system fitting a 2-in. output shaft. The roller is capable of handling up to 3/4 of a mile of 12-ga. barbed wire or 6 miles of 14-ga. smooth wire. For safety reasons, it’s not adapted for a pto drive system.
“Having it on a tractor or skid steer allows you to tilt it back and forth to maintain a nice wrap,” says Shawn Spence, Danuser Customer Service Representative. “The ideal method of keeping tension on the wire and achieving a nice tight wind is to use a weight like a logging chain on the end to provide the required resistance.”
The Winder is made up of two pieces that separate by pulling a small pin, allowing the wire to be removed.
The Python Wire Unroller is designed to work in conjunction with the winder for new or partial wire rolls. It features an arm fitting any standard 2-in. receiver hitch on an ATV or truck. The arm also contains locking clevises for maintaining wire tension when traveling down a line of fenceposts.
“The unroller is completely toolless no matter what you’re doing with it,” Spence says. “The retainer pin is self-locking, so you don’t have to have a ratchet or wrench.”
Danuser doesn’t sell direct to the public but uses a distribution system with dealerships having the final say on equipment prices.
The MSRP estimates for the complete Python Wire Winder are approximately $560 and the Python Unroller around $420 including the mounting arm.
