Time to think and plan
Winter can often be a quieter time where an opportunity exists to reflect on what has worked well in the past and think about improvements to help make your farming operation more efficient.
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.
