![]() ![]() The Manual Backpack Wire Roller is designed for use in wilderness area applications requiring a portable, lightweight and quiet operating wire rolling unit, and for salvaging fencing in rugged terrain where it may be difficult or impossible to utilize other equipment. It can be mounted to an ATV, 3 point hitch tractor mount, skid steer implement plate, receiver hitch mount, pick-up truck, or trailer. The Wire Roller comes in a variety of configurations for ease of use in particular applications. The Hydra-Power Pack can be utilized in other applications as well. It can be powered by a conventional tractor hydraulic system in a 3 point hitch tractor mount configuration, by a skid steer type loader, or by Frenchglen Blacksmiths Portable Hydra-Power Pack. The Wire Roller is a hydraulic driven system. The ease and safety of operation is enhanced by the hydraulic operating valves enabling the operator to run the machine and guide the wire from a safe position. ![]() The Wire Roller easily coils up to a quarter mile of wire in a few minutes into a tight, reusable roll, virtually like new. Its hydraulic wire spooling guide provides for personnel safety and creates perfect spools every time. Whether salvaging fencing material from rangeland, changing cross fencing on a ranch or backyard, or moving security wire, the Wire Roller reduces labor costs while increasing the salvage value of any strand wire fence. Otherwise the roll will flop around and ruin the spool.The Wire Roller is simply the easiest and most cost effective way to remove strand wire fencing while preserving the integrity of fencing materials for re-use. The one word of advise for this is make the shaft that goes through the roll of barb wire tight inside the roll. It is pretty "quick attatch" which makes it nice. Mounted an old disk blade with a shaft through the middle. I also made one that sits on the hitch of the four wheeler and kind of hooks on the rack also for support. Pin it down, drop a roll of wire on and don't lean back unless you don't care about your jacket or shirt! Underneath is a piece of channel iron that fits over a bar of the rear rack. ![]() ![]() Mine is highly technical- a disk blade with a shaft a bit taller than roll or wire welded on. We use push lawn mower handles and just hand pull but I am sure you could get it to mount to a ATV hitch somehow I was skeptical at first wondering where the hell the wheels were but its the only thing i'd use now. It worked really slick and went places a trailer or pickup would tip over. It was just 2" round tubing welded in the shape of a v with a round peg to put a roll on each corner (2 rolls ), it just drug on the ground pulled with four wheeler. My BIL helped me put in a mile of fence this spring and he brought his homemade wire unroller. Could make it hold 3 or 4, use it with a truck or ATV, little WD40 on the posts and plate make it unroll nice. We have a "trailer" that holds two rolls, pretty much just an axle, hitch and two posts side by side with flat steel for the base on top of axle.
