Handy Devices

Wayne Brown, Wesson, Mississippi, built an easy way to take up old fencing. He used a hay unroller and a discarded wire spool. Brown ran a pipe through the spool out to the arms that would otherwise hold a bale for unrolling. He attached wire to the spool and began moving forward. Brown found the spool could roll up about 1,000 feet of wire. The wire can be discarded with the spool or unrolled again for a new fencing project.
