Home Forums Miscellaneous Topics Rural Living Tearin' Out Old Wovenwire Fence.

By old I mean older than I am. I tried using the loader bucket to root our the wire, then pull on it , but I was only getting about ten feet till it would break. Then I went back for the rock bucket, and was able to get it mostly out of the ground.

I now have 35 rod of wire strung out by the scrap wagon, chop it into small chunks, and pitch it I suppose.

Yeah its not much fun when its stuck in the ground 6 inches or so.I usually try to snag it with the loader bucket and drive at an angle to tear it out,actually works pretty well until you run out of room.It usually starts getting into the front tire so you have to stop and go back and snag it again. I just wad it up then and smash it and haul it to the scrap guy.Dont bring anything but its gone off the place.
