wire winders

We use a wire winder that has its own 5.5hp Briggs & Stratton engine. It is called the EZ barbwire roller and came out of Texas. It cost $798 new.

You can wind wire into the back of a pickup or a flatbed if you tie the darn thing down.

It rolls 1/2 mile of single strand wire into a roll. If you are just getting rid of fencing, it will wind up to 5 or 6 wires, obviously not more than a few hundred yards.

I can't imagine needing tractor power to wind wire unless you are doing something special.

Last year when the railroad replaced their fences, the contractor just took a small tractor - about 40 hp - and started doubling the wires up all at once. It ended up about 300 feet long and was about a foot in diameter. If you have a gulch to put it in, it ok. I think it was gone the last time I went by so they did something with it.

We use an EZ Roller which is made by a company in Spearman, Texas. I have to say that is one of the few really good things to come from Texas. :lol: They are easy to use and one person can handle the thing and when we get goin one person can get 5 1/4 mile long runs of barb wire rolled in about 20 minutes. Like I said it is one of the few good things to ever come from Texas :lol:

We built a Hydraulic wire roller out of junk we had laying around. Needed something after losing nearly 5 miles of fence in a fire in 98. Works well on barb wire but really shines in rolling smooth hi-tensile wire. Variable speed control allows for safety and speed. Can roll wire just like a new roll if you pay attention!

In the words of the Imortal Cowsense "we need pictures." You don't have to be in the nude rolling the wire. Please no.

BMR; You're welcome to come take pictures any time you want ; if you can't make it just send Tam! Owning a camera would just be another concession to becoming a tech slave! :wink:
