This auction is for a lot of electric fence equipment. The descriptions of the items will be above the pictures of each item/group below.
If you are an old farm hand, you will recognize all of these things as essentials. If you are a new or aspiring farmer, you can rest assured that you will find use for everything here, sooner or later.
First up and essential for a large operation: geared reels for polywire. Pictured are four geared (they really pull in the wire fast) reels in used-but-functional condition, each with several hundred feet of polywire on them. Even for a small operation, if you are doing rotational grazing on temporary/adjustable paddocks, these will save you heaps of time.
Below are 72 rebar-to-wire connectors. Nearly all are the black ones that are way superior to every other type. Using rebar for your internal posts is the cheapest, most adjustable method, and these insulators keep the electric wire away from the rebar but still held secure.
Here is a group of 32 gate handles. If you practice rotational grazing with small grazers (sheep, goats), you will need several of these gate handles for each paddock. For large grazers, one should be enough. As you can see, they are a mixed lot and are used, but they are all functional and will give you a variety of options for differing situations.
Below is a batch of electic wire insulators designed to be mounted on a wood post or tree. There are also a few that are designed to mount onto a metal T-post. There are 41 total insulators. The second picture is a zoom of the black post-mounted type, which comprise the vast majority.
Below are five standalone fiberglass posts and enough wire pass-throughs to use them for a 3-tier electric fence. These are used to control the height of the fencing as it passes over surface features or if it sags between other posts. They can be used with or without the four feet spikes included. The red-handled object is a pair of fencing pliers in very good condition and next to them are five or more cable/wire clamps. These are used to create an impossibly-strong connection between two wires or cables.
Below you can see another pair of fencing pliers, also in very good condition. Next to that is a pint jar full of wire-connecting (split) bolts, used for creating a strong and electrically-conductive connexion between two strands of heavy-gage fencing wire. Around the jar are four different fence wire tensioners. The spool on the right contains 34 feet of underground conductor for connecting sections of fence. The second picture below is a zoom of the diagram for the nice tensioner in the bag.
Here you can see spools and winds of the indispensible polywire. Probably several hundred feet of it, mostly in great condition but occasionally you'll find a very worn section.
Three switches so that you can quickly disconnect a field that has no stock in it. This way you keep the fence extra hot in the areas that matter.
Here is the tester you need to know whether your fence is "hot" enough to keep your animals inside it. Unfortunately, I am no longer in a place where I can test this device, but the last time I used it, it worked fine. If you find that it is non-functional, contact me and I will make it right.
Finally, here is a lot of 65 ceramic "donut" type insulators. You need these for the corners of your pasture and other places where the angle of the fence changes. Don't confuse these with the cheap plastic ones available at the local farm store.
