    Might tighten it in another few inches alright :) it's when you're reversing in to put it on that could catch you!

    Could u run the grab off the tractor spools and get rid of the valve chest?

    Good enough reason I suppose😀
    Cost 2/300 but you could fit a diverter valve to one of your services to give you a third one.

    I made up one of those with angle iron. Never got around to making the 4 adjustable uprights. Still using G Clamps. Helps to have a second person unwinded it by hand as you drive. Stops it snagging.

    I just need to make up the the two adjustable clamps now. No need for the 4 of them to move.

    I'm going to rob your idea and get OH to make up something like it.
    We have to roll up a few thousand meters of high tensile wire that was taken down and is now lying on the ground.

    Easy enough to buy one, they're called spinning jenny, have one here for years, it's just the job for rolling out or rolling up wire.
    The one i have is adjustable and can use rolls of any diameter

    The jury is still out at my moment on this bit of guntering as haven't used it yet. .....

    Hard to see the grab at night with mast blocking tractor spots so decided to mount a small set on grab itself.

    TL90/100 is it?

    Very well made! You'd know a lad was tidy when he has a mat inside the workshop door! :)

    Can you get box section pre galvanised?

    I have a spinning jenny here but the reel is vertical. The arms are long enough to catch them by hand to wind up wire. A flop when unwinding new coils as the loops of wires start to get loose as you unwind. After a bit it becomes a tangled mess and cutting becomes inevitable. They all seem to be mounted horizontally. Probably eliminates my problem.
