[RC] [RC] Removing Old barbwire , suggestions - L gin - Sherman
My neighbor had barbed wire around his property,
fortunately, just a top strand, but it was rusty & loose. When he
offered the property for our horses to graze I did replace it with hot-wire.
Yes, use heavy leather gloves and protective clothing. I first removed long,
maybe 50' sections, from the posts, then using heavy duty gloves, went along
picking up & folding the wire into about 1.5' - 2' lenghts. Whenever I had a
large bundle, I'd use bolt cutters to end my section and put a wrap on it to
keep it bundled. Into the garbage it all went. It'd go faster with a couple of
sons to help. I only had about 3 acres to do, but it was cross-fenced as
well.
