THIS COULD GET INTERESTING! Farm Fencing High Tensile Woven Wire tips & Gates!

What happens here

The presenter explains that due to the terrain, certain sections of the fence are naturally higher than desired. To achieve a tight fence that effectively contains cattle, the woven wire needs to be pulled downwards and secured to the posts at ground level in these 'high spots'. This requires significant force, which will be provided by a skid steer and the strainer board.

Goal: This step outlines the strategy for tensioning the high-tensile woven wire fence, particularly in areas where the terrain dips and the fence needs to be pulled down to the posts. Heavy machinery will be utilized for this task.

Tools and materials

  • Pallet Forks
  • Skid Steer (John Deere)

we built all this stuff last week so what we've got to do and this will be my first time hooking to the pallet forks on the tractor or on the skid loader and pushing the wire down this has been the highest spot on the whole farm we haven't had any big dips on any of the fencing that we put up so far except for right here so we're going to show you how we do this in a real high spot and again it's probably three and a half feet up in the air and then we're going to show you how we do it over in a spot where we can just push it down so in some places along the fence line here we'll have to raise up on the fence in some places you'll have to lower down on the fence sometimes it helps to have at least two people maybe three people and i've got my helper he's coming across the field right now all right now this all might seem so super simple but it's really not that simple so what i'm going to do is i'm going to back the kubota up to about right here and we're probably three feet from the post that we want to attach to i'm going to back up to there i'm going to put my wedge net board on there and then we're going to raise the forks up on the tractor and we're going to go ahead and tie our chain on then we're going to take the forks on the pallet forks right here on the skiddy bop there and we're going to mash it down we're going to tie to this post we're going to tie to that post we're going to tie to as many posts around here as we possibly can now if this was way way up in the air we're going to need some type of bracing underneath here to keep this thing from turning into an arrow going pulling it right out of the ground so that's what's up it's not as simple as you think
