ATV carrier makes fencing easier A NEW carrier/auto fencer launched at Fieldays by Taragate attaches to the front carrier of an ATV. It can carry three electric fence reels and with a special clamp can carry Taragate tread-ins or normal electric fence standards. Other times it’s good for shovels, spades, etc.
The carrier enables a farmer to lay out either single or multi-strand electric fencing while sitting on an ATV moving slowly. “The carrier makes laying out and winding up electric fencing easier and quicker,” says Taragate co-owner Barbara Powell. Elsewhere on its Fieldays site the company displayed a retractable gate: using this, electrified tape need not be thrown on the ground where it risks trampling by stock or ATV wheels. The braided tape suits gateways up to 12m wide. It can be electrified by the insulated handle being attached to a ‘hot’ wire or the power can be attached to the unit. The mounting brackets are fixed to a post; the tape holder can be lifted out and used elsewhere. The large handle minimises the risk of shocks. Also new, an ingenious in-line wire strainer tightens and tidies fences. It comes as a pack containing a handle and 12 galvanised strainers. The user fits the strainer to the wire, each rotation tightening the strand to a desired tension. Powell says the device tightens wire “in a few seconds, contrasting with getting out and setting up conventional wire strainers”. Tel. 07 843 3859 www.taragate.co.nz
