Auto fencer good for break

Written by 

JUST IN time for break feeding during late autumn and winter is this new release from Taragate, called the Auto Fencer, seen at Central Districts Field Days.

Bolted to the front frame on a quad, it can carry electric fence reels and many standards, and also spades, shovels and tools.

The Auto Fencer can lay out one reel of tape as the quad moves forward and with a further attachment can lay out two or three reels. Meanwhile the standards can be treaded in or collected from the quad seat.

It is fully galvanised and the spring loaded clamp makes the load secure.

Also new was Taragate's end insulators made from polycarbonate.

"Previous insulators made from glass filled material grew lichen and moss, which led to power leakage," says part-owner Kerry Powell.

Also, the glass-based insulators would deteriorate over time, becoming brittle, and the wire guides would break off.

The new equipment is available New Zealand-wide from Taragate dealers.
