[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 618613, member: 3162"] For this last run I built new one. Describing it will likely sound complicated but it is actually quite simple. I took 2 inch tube steel 4 foot long and stuck it in the receiver hitch of the truck. I burned a hole for the pin. It can now be inserted into my truck receiver and pinned just like the stinger you use for your trailer ball. Coming up off of the end of the tube steel vertically I used a receiver end welded to the tube steel. This is for a bench vice in the field or anything else that needs securing. For the barbed wire, I came up off of the receiver end 2 feet with a tube steel member. One inch round stock about 4 foot long was welded to the tube steel in a T. Put two flat washers on either side of the tube steel, slid down on the round stock. Put a 1 inch piece of pipe about an inch wider than your barbed wire roll on each side. Put another washer on the end of the pipe. Add another piece of pipe all the way to the end of the round stock minus about an inch. Drill a hole through the end and use a latch pin like you would on your 3 point to ensure the last washer/pipe does not slide off of the round stock. You can now place 4 wire spools on the T and drive along the fence path. The flat washers keep the spools separated and the also keep them from coming off of the end or from contacting the center tube steel member. Slide the pipe through the barbed wire to load in onto the round stock, holding the pipe. Add your space washer and add the next roll on pipe. (for each side) I stopped every 300 feet and pulled the wire taught with a golden rod. The wire was never cut. I would just drive on to the next pull point (H brace). This allowed me to pull 4 wires at once. I then went back and added two more for 6 strands total. My BIL used this on his 4 wheeler just last week and thought it was really slick. It sure beats trying to carry the wire on the spools. As said, one you get the 4 foot extension built, you can use it for a vice platform and other things. [/QUOTE]
