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

What happens here

The strainer board is placed against the fence, ensuring the wire passes through the appropriate slots. Wedges are hammered in to tightly grip two horizontal strands of the woven wire. A logging chain, with its hook removed, is then threaded through the bottom loops of the strainer board. The skid steer is backed up to the fence, and the chain is wrapped around the pallet forks, creating a secure connection to pull the fence downwards.

Goal: This step demonstrates positioning the strainer board against the fence and securing it, then attaching it via chains to the skid steer's pallet forks for tensioning.

it's not as simple as you think we go now you can see how high this wire is and it's pretty bouncy it is super duper tight there's no way i weigh about 260 pounds there's no way i can pull this down on my own so get our wedge type strainer board here we're gonna pop all these wedges out now again we're about two feet from the post here we're gonna put our wedge straightener board up here what we want to do is catch two rungs of wire in other words two rows of wire [Music] with each one of these okay so it'll line up just right there we go we'll just drop our wedges in so all the way along this fence on the bottom is one strand of 12 gauge high tensile wire and i've got a hold of it right here you can see it so we've got to make sure that we get that in the appropriate spot and the appropriate spot is down low okay so we want that down close to the ground you've got two little knobbies right here i guess two little holes and you want to drop this wedge in to encapsulate one two of these line wires okay now these line wires get closer as we get further down so you might get three as you get down lower but the biggest thing is i don't want this high tensile wire somewhere in the middle i want it all the way down at the bottom we'll get this guy lined up now you might be asking josh why in the world don't you just take the pallet forks stick them in there and pull down on it because it's going to destroy the wire here it's going to destroy this net wire we don't want to do that we're going to pull things apart we're in the business of making stuff good all right got those two in like so [Music] okay knock that one down and now our last one will have our stretched wire and this is what we use for our straight edge because we don't use a piece of mason string or anything like that this is not affected by the wind it's not affected by anything you don't run over it you don't catch it with the tractor and break it unless you really mess up so we'll slide this down to the bottom and i actually don't quite have this in right i'll show you what i messed up doing here our strainer board goes way down below the level of our fence so we need this actually up so we want this to be the bottom of the fence let me raise it up simple enough sometimes we do it right because we do it twice okay william my helper wild bill come on through here and if you will stand on the tailgate of the uh kubota for me i think we're gonna have to call william woody we're finally gonna have to…
