Applying Significant Tension with Heavy Machinery

What happens here

In areas where the fence wire is significantly higher than the desired ground clearance (e.g., due to terrain or slack) and cannot be manually pulled down, heavy machinery is employed to apply the necessary tension. A Gehl RT210 Gen3 skid steer, fitted with pallet forks, is used for this task. A heavy chain is secured to the pallet forks and then attached to a section of the woven wire fence. The skid steer then slowly backs away, carefully pulling the fence wire downwards and outwards, applying immense tension to bring it to the desired height (about 3-4 inches from the ground). Once the tension is applied, the fence is held in place by the machine, allowing workers to proceed with tying.

Goal: Tension sections of fence that are loose or high off the ground using heavy equipment.
