anyone know of an easy way to wind up electric fence wire in the fall or have plans to build a winder of some sort. The commercial ones I see are expensive and dont look too bad to build but I need someone with some experience to see what features should be on it. Thanks

Just get near it with the bush hog. You'll wind WAY more wire than you'd think you can!!!

Have the guys at your local steel fab shop save you the plastic spools from their wire feed welders (the big rolls). Those are handy for wrapping up all kinds of "loose ends"; extension cords, twine, wire...

We used to take off one rear wehll of our old GMC pickup and put one on without a tire. Get it started by hand a few turn slip in first gear and let her. we would wind about a mile at this way.

Thanks for the ideas! That looks like a slick outfit! Hoping to put something together before fall so the deer dont run through and tangle the wire all over the grove! Thanks again!

Hi spitz:
I wind between 6 to 8 miles wire every spring with my ground driven wire winder. Two Educated engineers have continuously denied it's working. Yet it works for me the last five years. But what do I know? Here's a couple snaps.

First day�s start late March, 2006. I had rolled eight miles wire last year, in to partial days, between morning and evening chores.

May I add I built this whole rig. Guaranteed one of a kind HM machine.
You may E-mal me for details more pics if I need to take them.

One of our local farm stores rents theirs for $3 per day. It is manual, no motor, and works like a charm. Sure beats buying one.

I built one using a transaxle out of an old lawn mower, some pulleys and belts, and some square tubing. It runs off the pto of the tractor and mounts to the 3 point using a drawbar. Its not real heavy duty but it got the job done on a 1/2 mile of wire I had out. Its nice to be able to change speeds and put in reverse while rolling up wire.

My grandfather has one he built out of an old hand grinder and a tiny gas engine from an old lawn mower.
