Wire Winder Also Rolls Up Posts
Faeth also came up with a skid loader-mounted, hydraulic-operated wire winder that can also roll up posts with the wire.

Wire Winder Also Rolls Up Posts FENCING Miscellaneous Faeth also came up with a skid loader-mounted hydraulic-operated wire winder that can also roll up posts with the wire
“It’ll eat the whole fence up ” says Faeth “It holds up to 2 000 lbs of wire/posts and has a cone-shaped design that allows the rolled-up wire to easily be pushed off the drum when full It pulls both posts out of the ground even if they’re buried 3 ft deep The rolled-up wire/posts can then be sold for scrap
“It’ll handle both barbed wire and woven wire as well as high line wires and conveyor belting And it works fast - it’ll wind up 1/4 mile of fence in less than 15 min If I want I can reverse a hydraulic motor and unroll the wire and posts back off the drum so they can be reused ”
The cone-shaped steel drum measures 3 ft in dia by 5 ft long and is 12 in in dia at one end but only 4 in at the other end The drum is operated by a hydraulic motor that chain-drives the gear reduction system off the front axle of a combine Faeth made a wheel rim type of attachment with a shaft welded onto it that bolts on where the wheel rim normally bolts onto the axle
“It has a 50:4 gear reduction so there’s plenty of torque to pull wire and posts up and keep them tight ” says Faeth
The drum is supported at each end by a big metal roller with the roller at the small end of the drum screwed onto a big bolt To remove the rolled-up wire Faeth unscrews a nut removes the wheel and slides the roll off
“I’ve used this wire winder for 5 years and it’s unbelievable how well it works Makes fencing an easy job ” says Faeth “The roll of wire and posts is often up to 4 ft tall when I’m done and looks almost like a small round bale
“The first time I used it I rolled up 50 miles of fence and didn’t have a lick of trouble It has so much torque that it’ll pop the staples and clips right off the posts so I don’t have to remove them later ”
