now we all know that I use my lawn mower/tractor for everything I do. and because I happen to be an, ahemm, older lady I have to figure out how to move things by myself because I can't get the dogs or goats to help. the things I can lift I put into my little garden cart and for those things I can't lift but can roll I have an old car hood with cable attached which I also pull behind said mower. roll things on it and take off. metal car hood, from a small car btw, slides over the ground like it thought it should. if I can get whatever on the hood I can move it anywhere I need it to go. of course its not as cool as that little wagon thing greybeard showed but since I don't think I could lift a roll of wire anyway the hood works great.

Great idea!! @goatgurl ....with all the vehicles here "Rusting in Place"....not on our property...I might could come by one fairly cheap. The neighbor has about 10 VW "Bugs" sitting on his property, his dad collected them.

@CntryBoy777 thanks for the text tonight, but my text back to you would not go through. 3 tornadoes went through Canton, Tx about 25 miles from us, causing a lot of damage, 1 fatality and 50-60 people taken to area hospitals. Canton has a First Monday flea market that covers 400 acres and thousands of people are in Canton for it. It has been a hard evening for our neighboring town. @Latestarter texted me to alert me about the storms. I was able to text him back, but later on, I couldn't get through to him either. Tornadoes continued to spew out of the storms. One headed up toward @Devonviolet. I was on the phone with her, describing what the weather man on our local station was saying. She and her husband took cover in the bathroom and waited it out. Then it was our turn. Our satellite TV froze and Devonviolet was describing what the tornadoes were doing in our neighborhood. They came close, but we are ok. It has been a wild evening. The rains have finally stopped, I bet the 5" rain gauge is over flowed, but I don't care enough to trudge through the dark up to the front gate to see.

Got a bit worried when I saw the tornado just west of you Bay... then later there was another headed what looked like right over you! :barnie:ep Figured you were on top of it so no sense texting you again. So glad you and yours escaped any damage. Sorry to hear about those who weren't so lucky. My weather radio hasn't gone off once with all this despite the warnings that include my county... :confused::eek::( I don't get it but will have to do some serious checking into it as to why. I set it up according to the directions... Good to hear @Devonviolet is well also. I haven't even had really heavy rain here. Lots of thunder and lightning but that's about it.

Killer tornados, monsoon rains, high humidity, poisonous snakes. What's not to love about TX??? ;)
Glad you are OK down there!

should be easy enough to build something to pull behind a lawn tractor or even a pickup truck to move and unroll field fence with if you don't have a tractor.
I would never steal someone else's commercial idea of course, but just to get the brain cells working...

Pretty slick actually. Not sure why one would try to unroll a 330' roll of fence vertically without a device like that.
