Homemade fence unroller

[LS Tractor Owner]

My neighbor tried to order a Titan wire fence unroller from TSC. After 2 weeks, TSC told him that it could not be shipped to our local store.... REALLY? He ordered it in the store, right off of their own website!

So, fall back and punt.... he bought a carry-all at a third of the price. I made a frame to go between the carry-all arms, put some steel plate on it, and welded a bracket on for the post. Added a c-channel frame to the back, hinged at the top to lower onto the center post. Everything is bolt together, so it can be multipurpose as a simple carry-all too!

Here are a few pics....

Great piece of engineering. My only concern is that it "appears" as though the bottom bolt on the vertical shaft to hold the fence roll, may protrude enough to get hung up in the fence roll. Could be just the angle of the pic, but wanted to share my 2¢.

There was a good TBN thread here awhile ago on farm fence u nail guns battery operated vs pneumatic . I think the battery operated one was a DeWalt .

I was concerned about that too, so the bolt is sideways to start, we'll see if it does snag. A simple solution already planned if it does, is a roller guide at the base. Just some 4" bolts vertically, with some 1" pipe around them. I'll mount them just behind and off to the sides (about 10 and 2 o'clock). Might add one on the top arm also to keep the fence roll vertical.

I was looking at them a few months back. This might be a prime time for investing in another tool!:thumbsup:

Yes, that is what he tried to purchase.... $499 at TSC, $599 at others...plus some wanted additional shipping.
he will have a total of about $265 into the homemade one.

For my needs and price I think I would go with air power . Seeins I have the compressors/gennys/ air lines already and I don't do it for a living . Plus I got some two or three sets of fenceing pliers .
