[QUOTE="mesquitekiller, post: 1568555, member: 38336"] Stocker Steve - he is repairing currently, but after he's done repairing the fence on this group of pastures, he will be building quite a bit of fence on a different ranch project. There are sections he's repairing now where the old leasee really let the fence go to he** where he practically has to rebuild & start from scratch anyways. If you have any pics of the spool setup tray in the cargo bed, I'd love to see them! And Dad's always used the good ol' handheld post hole digger for braces and corners, not an auger. This is the man who also moved & stacked 50,000 bales of hay by hand one summer in college.... Ken - Definitely would love to see that unspooler you've got! I'm handy so might be able to make it! Problem I wonder about though is with barbed wire, sometimes as it unspools the barbs get caught. It's easy enough to fix but gives a little jerk on the spool that could break something. Last I saw him do it, Dad put up 4 old wooden pole handles vertically in the rear cargo bed holes of the Polaris, then placed a metal pole horizontally that he slid the spool onto. Yeah, the spool would travel to the side and start to rub the cargo bed through simple physics, but there was a little give with the wooden poles being spaced apart that gave you a split second to stop the polaris if the barbs got caught together to readjust.
