Does anyone know where a person might buy some type of automated retieval system to take up electric fence wire. The system could be used on a truck or tractor pto. Are a good ideal how to build a automated retrieval system. Thanks for your time.

I made one that fits on the spools that the wire comes on. It's basically a piece of 1/4" Redi-Bolt with fender washers and jam nuts that clamp the spool. One of the washers has a piece of 1/8" welding rod welded on it to engage a hole in the spool to drive it and a 1/4" nut welded to it so that the jam nut will hold the washer to the Redi-Rod. I ground 3 flats on one end of the Redi-Bolt to make it so that my 12v DeWalt drill can wind or unwind the wire without slipping. If you need more info I can post a pic.

Old check corn wire winder works well too.

Whatever you get, look for one with a um, spiral wire guide, it goes back & forth guide to make the wire wind evenly across the roll.

I see ads in the farm magazines for 3 point mounted hydraulic driven wire winders. I haven't used one but I have used the pto ones and think the hydraulic would be better. Lee

The wire winders I have seen from TSC are have a hard rubber drive wheel that rubs on a metal disk to turn the spool. This lets the drive mechanisn slip some if you have to back into the incoming wire. Barbed wire doesn't slide on the ground worth a darned so you'd have to back up and pick up the wire as you go. I've never wound smooth wire, but I assume a pretty long stretch of smooth would pull right into the winder while y ou sit still.

Now it's time to brag about MY homemade winder. It's the wing off an old disk, modified a little, and turned upside down and chained to the loader bucket. A hyd motor turns it. The hoses plug into the hyd couplers that the grapple claw usually plugs into on the front of the loader just behind the bucket. The hyd motor is small and not very strong so it doesn't break the wire. It's wound up many miles of barbed wire with very few problems. Jim

I have found that a haybine will pull a lotta wire in in a big hurry. A bush hog will too but the haybine doesn't sling bits and pieces as bad.

I built one for my post hole digger. Used old disk spools amd welded a used disk blade on each end. Made several of these spools. Have seen ones built from an old car rear end mounted on a trailer. Miles and miles of barb wire here in Colorado.

Not sure where you are but I have enclosed a link to the manufacturer for the one that TSC is selling.

Can't hurt to call. I know I have walked in and bought parts for mine.

These work fine but don't expect a highly finished product. Also don't expect it to put 100 rod on one spool as advertised.

Those tools do work Well enough in a perfect World ,,, However ,, I am lucky to have this situation ,.Each year I pasture the corn stalks off , I simply pull the wire back over to the pasture side again and fasten it every hundred ft or so to the existing fence ,, I have a quarter mile straight run to do this in,Have been using barb wire.. Strongly suggest Smooth wire if you have to take corners . My 2 cents jim

Most farm stores have them, sometimes only in their catalogs.

We used to do a similar thing with our old 1950 Chevy PU. Took one rear wheel off, put a wheel on with no tire started her up put in low (3 speed)and let er rip. Worked really good for a Primitive Pete method.
