Good vid... I liked his laugh when asked how long it took to get the set-up right - how many of us 'never got around' to doing whatever and then, once we've done it, think 'Why the f' didn't I do that years ago?' (For some idiotic reason, youtube doesn't have a 'bang-head' emoji)
Thanks Tim, another brilliant individual who has developed an amazing trailer. I was truly gobsmacked on how well he was set up. Thanks again for a brilliant episode, Cheers
Hi Tim love watching your videos and all the tips and knowledge you share. I must say out of all the fencing setups that you've shown us i do really like this one the most. It's simple and extremely effective.
@@FarmLearningTim thanks - so he sets corners, runs tension wire on bottom then wheels off 10-ft or 8ft or whatever,,,... that other fencing company you show has something on trailer right that lets them know spacing, right? or am i smoking crack? i will have to rewatch
Follow the land. You’ll find that good posts like stockpost are pre marked to make the job even easier. If you’re dealing with lots of undulating ground, then decrease your post spacing.
Mate have you come across any powered wire roller-uppers? Something I can take down old long lines of barb down with as one man unit, other than me rolling them over by hand?
I have a hand me down that my uncle made. I don't think I can put a photo on here but I'll try to explain how it was made. The basis is an old vehicle differential (I think this one might be off a pre war Ford) which has arms welded to allow attachment to a tractor 3 point linkage. The vehicle tailshaft is driven by the PTO. A home made steel wheel with 5 or 6 spokes about 1" diameter (water pipe) is mounted on the right hand wheel hub. On each spoke is an "L" shaped bracket that accepts the wire. The brackets can slide up and down the full length of the spoke and are secured by means of a clamp bolt. When winding the wire the brackets are positioned towards the outside of the wheel. When the coil is wound the bolts are loosened and the brackets slide towards the hub thus facilitating release of the coil. On one side and to the front there is a guiding loop through which the wire is fed onto the wheel. On the left hand hub a lever allows pressure to be applied which controls the speed of the winding wheel. To operate, the wire is fed through the guide loop and bent over a bracket (just enough so it engages but doesnt prevent the coil being removed when its fully wound), the PTO is engaged which commences driving the diff, and pressure is applied to the control lever which starts the winding wheel.
Cheers that trailer looks like its worth its weight in gold! Running wire today , wish we had that trailer! Great video mate.

He’s a legend.
There's an easy way and a hard way this dude's got it figured out. Work smart not hard 👍

I like what I do !
Something to show at the end of the day...
That's worth a grand a week + ten years of healthy life.
nice setup
I love his hat - I want one!
awesome - - how does he mark center postson line? is there a measure msmt somewhere that tells him when to drop post?
He used a trundle wheel and paint prior to driving the intermediate posts.

@@harleyjune1233 yeah nah, the onther one has a mark on the trailer. That is of course a bit less accurate but faster.
Hey mate how do u set your star picket heights do u just follow the land height or run a string line from each strainer n work with that height?
