[QUOTE="marksmu, post: 662489, member: 9219"] Im going to guess he is talking about the wire getting caught up on the bottom wire as you tighten it. I have not found this to be a problem though as long as you have two people. Once I get my bottom line tight, I always have someone else standing at the middle post, lifting the wire off the ground as the next strand it is tightened. It prevents it from getting hung up on the bottom wire - and it takes alot of the stress of the tightener and makes for a better line. Cant tell you how many tensioners we have destroyed while fencing.. We run the bottom line first - then we have a trailer that unrolls the other 3 strands for us - the only place we ever have tangles is when you forget to not cut the other 2 lines off the trailer until you have the next one tight and stapled. If you forget and try to cut more than one, its a big ole mess. You dont ever make that mistake twice in the same day - but sometimes if its early enough, or late enough, you can do it - and end up cussin a storm while you get scratched to heck untwisted two wires.
