[QUOTE="yme, post: 868225, member: 8113"] I make spools out of old disk blades with a couple of blade spacers (off the disk) between the blades. Then I use a tractor with a belt drive. I pull off the belt drum and replace it with a peice of square rod that I made to bolt on to the belt drive. Slip the spool over the rod and clamp it on and your ready to go. You need two people with this system, one to control the wire to roll it on even and one you trust to sit on the tractor. This works great until you get to the last 30 yards of wire and you either have to slip the clutch or roll by hand. We put out around 3 miles of fence each winter to fence in hay and crop ground that is in a couple very flood prone bottom where using a normal fence on would be a waste of time . We can roll all the wire in a couple hours on a couple three spools. The spools can get real heavy fast and I have found it is alot better to have 2 or 3 spools then tring to lift one monster. I have rolled barb wire this way also but it takes some nerve for the man on the ground controling the wire. To unroll I have trailer I pull behind my ATV that I put the spools on and they just unwind as I drive. I have all my post and fencing stuff in the trailer and it works great. [/QUOTE]
