Johno Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Hi all. I was wondering if any of you chaps have any interesting inventions for unrolling netting ,barb or plain wire from a quad trailer. Photos would be good cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goaty Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 I don't think I have a photo so will try to describe. I spun plain wire on the spinning jenny thing you normally spike in the ground, using the top half and a homemade 3 pointed frame with a spindle for the base sat at the back of the trailer. I think the spindle was longer than needed so we could pin it down with a ratchet strap. As we used an indespension plant trailer with a wire mesh tailgate ramp, I slotted a piece of blue water pipe in the ramp mesh to feed wire through to save galv coating. I reckon you can do this with most wire products. 1. A foot base with a spindle (scaffold pole at least for net) 2. A tube that will rotate around spindle. For barb or netting. 3. Either secure the foot to the trailer or strap/chain it down from the top. You may need to make a pin to slot in the top with a loop on for it to go through Never used a quad, but I do similar with a tractor drawbar.

Johno Posted June 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 Hi Goaty Thanks for the reply .I have one mounted on a tandem axle quad trailer It slots into the rear box section so is easily removed for carting posts or whatever. It is a plate welded to an old Atv trailer hub and strong enough for deer net I also have one on the opposite side for spools of barb and plain wire As I work on my own mainly it saves loads of time and should make me last longer Any other ideas anybody cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbell Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 I see you had a nice day for it Rob, was the ground hard there or is it peat a good depth down. It varied a lot, the ground took the tractor well but if you had to run over the same ground a time or two it cut up realy quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
