Tractor-Mounted Wire Winder
A new hydraulic wire winder, powered b) its own motor and designed for 3-pt. mount on tractors, makes short work of building long fences, says Pro-Tatch, Inc., Grand Island, Neb."This hydraulic wire winder operates more smoothly than pto-powered units al-ready on the market," says Kevin Houtwed, spokesman. "The hydraulic design allows you to speed up or slow down without jerking or breaking the wire. When the reel is full, simply pull it off the main shaft, split it apart to remove the roll of wire, and.then replace the reel to roll up more we. You can also use the hydraulic motor to power other equipment such as small augers and grain cleaners."
The removable reel holds up to 1/2 mile of barbed wire. A grease fitting on the shaft helps prevent wear.
Sells for $399.
