Central Kansas | I have some old barb wire to roll up that was around a crp patch that is no longer in the crp program. The wire is no good so no need to save it. Thinking of making an attachment to go on my skid steer posthole digger. Was thinking of making it cone shaped so you can tie the wire on it and set on ground and start rolling. Thinking you could tie all 5 strands on at once. Then once it is rolled up you could just lift the digger straight up and away from the roll of wire. Then just pick roll up with the grapple and haul off. Has anyone else done this or have a better idea??? |

Central Kansas | Yes that is like what I was thinking. Have you seen one work? Tried googling wire dawg but all that comes up is the youtube videos. |

Baldwin City, KS | Find a piece of pipe that fits over the shaft on your digger and blow holes in it so you can pin it on like any other attachment. Make it 5' or so long. Blow another hole in it about half way and stick an old bolt through it. Jab end of pipe in ground, wrap wires around old bolt and start winding. Throw pipe and all away, or sometimes you can get pipe back out to reuse. Works great and you're only out the old piece of pipe. |

No I haven't seen one work, I was looking at ideas a while ago to build a wire winder and this one came up . |

DV, NV | I built some spools to handle our smooth twist(barbless) hotwire. I use an old 3pt digger and just tie a weight to the end of the wire and roll up a mile or so at a time. Spool probably holds 3+miles when you start with 4" pipe. |

| about 25 years ago a 20 year old was killed when a post hole digger wire winder wrapped him up. he was alone and had no way to shut off pto. |

Central Kansas | I am planning on using the post hole digger on my skid steer. Only plan on running it from the seat. |

Nance County, Ne | Cattlefeeder we purchased one last spring. Works great. One thing is make sure at the end of your wire tie a post to help keep it tight. Makes big difference. |

NE NE | If you are burying it anyway, just have a backhoe scratch up the wire, pull the posts, and bury them as you go. |

Eastern Nebraska | We use our post hole digger to wind up wire every year. It's a two man job for sure. One guiding the wire and another to shut off PTO if necessary. Just have to watch the splices getting caught in gloves. |

Sac & Story county IA | I have wound up 4 wires at once. Didn't work too good. The wires get to be different tensions. The main thing is not to be close. Wire can break anytime and a tail start flopping around. At great speed. I had mine on the loader quick tach instead of bucket. Door closed on cab. |
