How To Splice A Barbed Wire Fence // Farmhouse On The Ranch // 2021

[@SYRSALLY]

Hi. I’m a new subbie. I’m a 74 yr old woman that loves farm videos especially ones with farm animals. I’m retired and don’t have have much to do so I hope signed up for all your videos. I also watch all the Doss Farms videos. The whole family puts them out. I love it. Have a wonderful day and God Bless. 🙏🏼🌸🩷

@SYRSALLY Well what a lovely message, thank you for subscribing and watching. I read all my comments and not all of them are nice ones so it's very nice to know I have a new youtube friend.

Thank you for sharing your experience with cut barbed wire. Dad and I just had a deer’s leg caught in our fence last week and we had to cut him out. Now, we need to reattach the cut barbed wire. This video was helpful for me since this will be my first time fixing barbed wire myself. Thank you ❤❤❤

If you want to leave the tree for shade, you can slip a scrap strip of tin between the tree and the wires. Tack it loosely in place with one or two nails ( if the wire gets slack it will fall out) to let air under the tin as much as possible. Then the tree can keep on pushing your fence out of line... That's not many trees... I need one of those wearing the cap and gloves. Great you bought an American made Golden Rod fence stretcher. So many big farm stores like TSC and Atwoods carry chinese knock-offs.

Great job!! Very informative. I've got alot of repairs to do and between being 77 have arthritis so since I don't have as much strength as I used to your trips certainly have helped

[@wendyalderson6742]

Don't apologize! This is awesome. very straight forward and helpful. Pretty sure you've been doing this your whole life and know how to get the job done

[@BUTTEWORKS]

I'm about to start fencing my farm and was looking for how the splicing tool worked. Great demonstration, direct to the point.

[@farmhouseontheranch622]

Thank you for watching and commenting I'm glad my video helped!

[@robandnell4305]

Don't know if anyone has mentioned it but if you nail a board to the tree and staple it to the board, the wire won't rustl and its better for the tree. Good job on the fence.

[@dianerobinett3825]

Glad you're out working again...even thought I'm seeing this a couple months after you posted the video.

[@justinwabaunsee1544]

Thanks I'm putting up a barbed wire fence around the house. lots of help figuring out the stretcher thanks again

[@lousterzenbach7235]

Great video. Now, I'm going to buy a fence stretcher and get back to work. Thanks!

[@warriorsgreatness6182]

Thanks for sharing your fence fixing ranching techniques. Learn so much from your helpful videos. Mucho Gracias

[@revanelson8810]

Thank you for sharing your experiences. I recently moved back home and I’m trying to fix some broken fences around our land and also my 90 yr old father couldn’t do it anymore.

[@farmhouseontheranch622]

The first couple of times are terribly frustrating but you'll get the hang of it! It doesn't have to be perfect just up. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment!

[@randyjerrett3385]

Nice job !!!

[@dang4524]

This is way better than having my Dad yell at me while I try to fix our fence line...

[@Hannah-kg8cl]

Omg I saw this comment first and died 🤣🤣

[@cowboyred2794]

LMAO,,,my son and I do the same,, mostly me yelling and bitching,, for me and my son, fencing Bob wire fence is fun and memorable memories.

[@elizabethfoley3059]

thank you! I needed a solution without asking my boss!

[@RDRD-qo9fi]

Exactly how I do mines!!! Great work

[@coyotetumbles]

This was exactly the video I needed to see. Thank you so much for demonstrating a simple, get the job done solution 🙏

[@farmhouseontheranch622]

Thank you for leaving an encouraging comment. It's appreciated 🙂

[@chukwuemerie]

@@farmhouseontheranch622 what is the name of the tool used in pulling the wire together?

[@farmhouseontheranch622]

In my area they are called fence stretchers, wire stretchers or wire splicer.

[@chukwuemerie]

@@farmhouseontheranch622 Thanks.

[@lwthowe]

Nice vid. You probably already know this, when you're all done you can easily release your fence stretcher by grabbing the handle and pushing it backward as far as it will go and it will release for ya. You don't have to bang on the fence grabbers.

[@farmhouseontheranch622]

You are absolutely correct, except on this set on which that handy feature is broke. Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@mikehall9190]

Great looking place!

[@paulfisher4293]

Nicely done. A good repair 👍.

[@TheKajunkat]

If you are limited in hand strength you could learn a linesman splice. You only have to manipulate one strand at a time so only half the hand strength is required. It is pretty simple once you've done it a few times. It really works well with that type of barbed wire because it is easily parted without having to remove barbs.

[@tsl7881]

Its a lot harder to maintain tension while making a lineman's splice. I find you need more slack and risk breaking old wire. Plus you need to make really tight turns or it slips.

[@W.C.BillPrell]

Great Job and I like the pointers that you gave

[@sowertosow]

John 3:16 KJV For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

[@jackbaskin371]

When splicing barb wire I use the stretcher then use ferrel type splice and crimper. Cut the wires so they overlap a little, without a barb on either end. slide a splice over one wire then insert other wire into splice and crimp in 3 to 4 spots. Fast, easy, lot fewer scratches and, although not really important, looks good.

[@John-jh4yy]

That’s the same way I do it but I’m not near as pretty. But that does work. Great job. Little lady. 🙂🇺🇸

[@farmhouseontheranch622]

Thank you. 🙂

[@JohnSmith-eo5ec]

Good job!....(thank you)... merry Christmas!

[@toma43]

I have been splicing by loop to loop for years not knowing if it was proper. Your video validates it. There is a right way and a wrong way to twist wire. One of your twists is right, one is wrong. Can you tell which one?

[@tsl7881]

The loop method will last as long as any. No right method of twisting the wire, make sure it has 2-3 turns or it can slip apart under stress (tree limb, deer, cow, 4x4).

[@jcolv16]

helped me for sure! I like to see how others do it!! thanks

[@robertward553]

Looking good.

[@asadashiq6051]

Thanks you, ماشاءاللہ

[@NickJames-f2q]

Do you need help on the farm I would love to come help you

[@larryfrench8436]

Thank you

[@chucktrantham3541]

Awesome

[@gilodi7149]

Very useful video , pretty girl

[@edthebumblingfool]

why not use plain wire for all joins? easier to work and easy to tension with pliers only.

[@farmhouseontheranch622]

Absolutely could. We just use what we have available at the time.

[@morotegari1]

Nice job

[@reygallegos1085]

Grasias aprendi algo Nuevo yo trabajo reparando sercas

[@jorgemince9888]

Looks good to me.

[@clarencecarter960]

Heavily wooded???! Where?

[@rksando1]

Theoretically, the windings should be in opposite directions.

[@judycarr7399]

Great. I'd hire you!!😁

[@tanimoyong4126]

How much the cost price of tool. Please parcel me the one set of tool for binding & tighten the barbed wire fencing. And tell your payment address. Please please 🙏

[@kevinarmknecht1075]

Noice!

[@robertrobertson4952]

The splicing wire is totaly wrong them eyes will brake in time twice it down the fence

[@tsl7881]

Used them for 55ys. No failures except where I didn't have enough wire to make at least 3 twists.

[@rodneyblair515]

I guess you doing the best you can not my preference on a connection but it'll work

[@bobstevenson4407]

Lousy way to splice...the loops kink the wires and weaken them...better to overlap them and wrap the tails in opposite directions.

[@DrJohn493]

Each way work and I use both splicing techniques. I've seen the loop-to-loop ends last for 25+ years.

[@tractortalkwithgary1271]

@@DrJohn493 , that is the way that I learned to splice fence from my Dad. I have friends that build fence commercially. They get fancy with reef knots. Several years ago, one of them showed me how to splice and it is almost as quick as the 2 loop method and probably at least 3 times as strong. That method is how I splice now. In my history with fencing, the 2 loop splice was always the weak point. We would just add in more wire and splice it right back so it could fail again down the road. Anybody else noticing that you can’t find the fence clips that fit the t posts anymore? How frustrating.

[@blakewilkerson9695]

Then why you watching a how to video ??😂

[@jonathantarrant2449]

Thats how l splice barbed wire but lots of people dont like it done that way

[@osvaldorodriguez9063]

That’s tide h

[@davidbiewer4766]

This is terrible
