Re: [RC] Removing Old barbwire , suggestions - Sisu West Ranch
When I was young and poor, I got free fence posts
by removing a barb wire fence on a neighbor's property.
Get heavy gloves etc. Cut the ties that tie
the wire to the posts. Hook onto the wire with a tractor or 4wd and
pull. This way you can pull loose 1/8 mile or so. When it is free of
the brush trees etc. roll it up into big rolls and dispose. You will also
need to do a bit of digging near the fence line. Some people "maintain"
barb wire by moving strands down as it rusts. You may find that there is
one or more strands in the dird at the bottom of the fence.
It is a lot of work, but not rocket science.
Alternatively http://www.horseguardfence.com/index.htm will
sell standoff insulators that allow the erection of their electric tape fence
inside of the barb wire.
