Winding System Makes Fencing Faster
Rappa International has introduced a unique new winding system, designed by farmers and ranchers, to cut fencing time by up to 8%. The ATV Winder handles up to four fence lines at a time and can erect 640 yards of fenceline in just 20 min. Other benefits include easier division of pastures for quicker rotation, preventing over-grazing because fencing is done faster, and, according to several users, a dramatic reduction in labor.
The ATV Winder mounts on the back of an ATV, using the hitch receiver and cargo bracket for support. Winding and unwinding are performed by a wheel that engages the ATV’s rear wheel. The drive wheel is easily disengaged for normal travel when the system isn’t operating.
Other versions of the system are designed for specialized use. The Side-by-Side Winder mounts on a UTV or on the rear of a pickup. It can set out or collect up to four lines at a time from a vehicle’s left side.
The ATV UnWinder reels out one to four lines of wire from the front left side of an ATV. The kit includes a holding bracket for fence posts.
The Dairy Winder is a smaller, lighter version of the ATV Winder that mounts on the right rear of an ATV. It’s designed for electric fencing with pigtail intermediate stakes.
The Barrow Winder is a lighter-weight push-along setup with a single front drive wheel and two operator handles. It’s perfect for smaller pens and can be configured to set up or dismantle up to four lines in a single pass.
Rappa equipment works on any terrain, aided by a special slip-clutch mechanism that maintains wire tension. The automatic feed system winds the wire evenly to minimize tangling.
The company also sells various wires for its machines, including super conductive polywire, regular polywire and steel wire. Each reel is preloaded with up to 650 yards of line. Reel and anchor posts, Superlite Polystakes and steel posts are also available.
Rappa fencing products are manufactured in England and sold worldwide through distributors. Visit the company website to find the distributor in your area.
