Machine Helps Hang Fence Faster
Efficient Fencer makes it easy to hang high tensile wire and get the job done fast. Hang up to 10 wires at a time and, depending on the model, carry gates, tools, and fencing supplies along on the job.
  “Our machines are designed to save time and help a fence contractor make more money,” says Joshua Acacio, Efficient Fencer. “It turns a daunting task into one that is simple, fast, and easy to do. It saves the farmer/customer money, too. It keeps fencing costs down because the contractor can install quicker.”
  Acacio grew up helping build fences on the family farm and has been a professional fence contractor for 10 years. He designed his first unit for his own use so he could do a better job faster.
  “The first time I used it, I completed 3,000 ft. of fence in 6 hrs.,” says Acacio. “The most I’ve done with one so far is hanging 7,500 ft. of 8-strand fence in a day. I’ve averaged 1,000 ft. of fence an hour. So far, I’ve built about 50 miles of fence with it.”
  Multiple features set the Efficient Fencer apart from other fencing equipment. It’s equipped with 10 de-reelers that swing out for reloading. Each holds a reel of high tensile wire. Each de-reeler rides on a tapered bearing, so it tightens down under friction. This maintains tension on the individual wires as the unit moves down the line of posts. As the wires feed out of the de-reelers, they pass through two vertical rollers that keep them spaced.
  A guide stick with holes for wires makes it easy for the worker stapling wire in place to properly space each wire.
  The Pro Series (skid steer mount) and Traveler (trailer-mount) Efficient Fencer models are both equipped with a top-mount storage rack. It provides space for brace pole ends, coolers, and an 11th de-reeler for brace wire. They also feature adjustable gate racks for transporting up to three gates per side. The Pro Series is also equipped with two large toolboxes.
  “The Pro Series has a hydraulic arm with a second set of vertical rollers that dispenses wire to either side, whether the skid steer is moving forward or reverse,” says Acacio. “The hydraulic arm folds in for passing through gates or backing into tight areas.”
  The basic Efficient Fencer shares most features of the Pro Series and Traveler, but does not include gate racks, nor does it have a hydraulic arm.
  “The Efficient Fencer is a smaller, lighter version designed to go on a tractor front-end loader or a skid steer,” says Acacio.
  Acacio also offers a Woven Wire Dispenser. It has a self-loading arm that dispenses 4 to 8-ft. rolls of woven wire to either side while going forward and off the front while the skid steer is backing up. It has chains to secure extra rolls of woven wire on the machine, a storage rack for tools and supplies, and a spinning jenny for brace wire. It also has D-rings on either side for hooking stretchers.
  “The Efficient Fencers save labor, too,” says Acacio. “Installing a fence takes less time and requires only two workers, one on the skid steer and one stapling wire into place.”
