Wire Spinner Buying Guide - Your ideal fencing wire spinner is in this comparison.

Wire Spinners are a must have tool for anyone doing regular fencing. There are a wide range of spinners on the market for rural farm fencing at an even wider range of price points, so how do you decide? One or two of the uses described in this video might even surprise you. Easy payout and spooling of fence wire is critical. Once you decide on the use you are going to put the spinner to, then the decisions, as you will see, start to get easier. This week I put some of the best spinners at various price points through their paces and hopefully help out a bit with the choices you have.

That's a professional review! Thank you so much!

[@matcosta8274]

Great video mate! Would love to see a review on different chain wire strainers aswell

Great review as always Tim, so useful and helps someone like me make some great choices that help save money in the long run

[@andrewsteele7663]

Thanks Tim, I am going to dig out my spinner and do the upgrades you recommended. I will also look at a more expensive unit as we have more fences to replace.

[@thijmbitter5960]

Thanks for the review , was just looking for that

[@kevinroberts2014]

Hi Tim from Cornwall UK, great video as always full of information,as someone said from the US, don't see them here much for sale in UK... remember that's why I made one from junk mounted on a boat trailer? Inspired by watching you in previous videos and how you all use so much plain wire over there has changed my plans on fencing here on my farm,. Seeing your H pattern strainers aswell has been interesting to try away from our prop design used here for years which is now catching on in the US as seen on Josh stoney ridge farmer KZbin vlog channel at a fencing competition, with your mate Langley farmfence solutions, again great video Cheers!

[@FarmLearningTim]

G’day Kevin. Nothing wrong with the prop ends either. The main thing is to get the height to length ratio right, regardless of the brace type. Great to hear you like the videos. Cheers mate.

[@kevinjames6822]

That fence line spinner is brilliant ,never had an over run problem

[@lazwald]

Brilliant Tim. Cheers for the tip regarding the barbed wire (everyone's favourite wire to work with!). Recently got the Fenceline Solutions spinner... BEST EVER! Only thing to note is that the arms on the spinner are susceptible to being bent, but that is a very small quirk when considering how good it is!

[@kierenlewin1510]

Thanks Tim, I've been thinking about a couple of Walters spinners for the back of the utes but wasn't sure.

[@peterbeyer5755]

Hi Tim, you should do a video on a DIY wire spinner made from a pallet, a square of ply, pipe as an spindle and some off cuts as a brackets to hold wire.

[@chuckbeggles8858]

Still using a home made DIY spinner after heck 20 odd years. I can't believe for the average farmer there are so many toys these days, contractors - well yeah I understand their deal.

[@aussiefarmer4955]

how are you mate? another great review good job Tim

Mate, wet as a shag right now.... just shared a track in the bush with yabbies flooded out of their holes. You know it’s wet when the yabbies give up.

2018 reserve won gold in the 2000 Halliday Cabernet challenge. 2019 just got gold in the Royal Adelaide wine show. Not bad for wine made by 15 year old kids in the back of a classroom. Yeah.... they go alright......

[@mitchmcbride6053]

Sorry for all the comments I just lobe these videos I use to use an old fire hose reel the big red ones for barbed wire just attached it upright to a steel post in the back of a ute it use to work great

[@mitchmcbride6053]

That was for re coiling barbed wire you know no bikkies so had to make doo

[@FarmLearningTim]

Hahaha. All good mate. Glad you like ‘em

[@lukebotterill693]

Hi Tim, would that adjustable wire spinner also wind up barb wire?

[@FarmLearningTim]

I Have used it to on short sections, but for longer jobs, you would be better served by a dedicated winder. Horsley wholesale sell one.

[@ryanmcerlane9660]

So does the whites three wire spinner have adjustable internal diameter I would like the ability to coil up old wire?

[@FarmLearningTim]

Yep totally.

[@ryanmcerlane9660]

@@FarmLearningTim cheers mate

[@terrysmith7740]

Really enjoying your content Tim. Do you have any Black chain wire on pipe frame fence install videos? cheers mate

[@FarmLearningTim]

I don't.... yet. Thanks very much mate. Glad you like the content!

[@mitchmcbride6053]

What they should do with the adjustable spinner and how you can wind it up you should put an attachment to the top so you can attach a drill making it easier to re-coil wire into the spinner with ease if you get what I mean

[@grantbloxsom6414]

wow i know il be going one of those 2

[@LeonFelixRusso]

Great!

[@davidgrowsdragonfruit5301]

I own one and didn't know about the whites contractor spinner being able to roll out barb. A couple of old plough discs with pipe welded on do that well anyhow. I have to say I have found it unusable for pulling out low tensile plain wire as it kinks and slips through to the centre post. High tensile is not much better. If you tie top and bottom halves together it helps but is still awful to use. It now hangs on a wall called 'A shrine to shite design' with a few other poorly designed bits of farm equipment. Back to using the most basic old model because at least it works.

[@stur4622]

I'm surprised how little is available in terms of barbed wire rollout trolleys...but also sure i've seen deformed Waratah/Whites Contractor spinners having been used for that purpose, soft smooth ground only?

[@FarmLearningTim]

[@stur4622]

@@FarmLearningTim thanks yes I'd seen that - but it's the only one I can find, and it's not cheap. Also reckon tubular construction would be lighter and stiffer.

Frack didn't know about turning the whites spinner into a barb wire trolley, oh well ready for rebuilding after the next fire I guess.

[@chuckbeggles8858]

I use the back arms of my tractor and a crow bar - each to their own and its got to be accessible for the tractor.

[@hollyberry4749]

Oh jeez we bought the second one you showcased it was horrendous, it flew off the floor as we were pulling the wire and bruised my arm from shoulder to wrist when it became a projectile. ( mind you we tied the wire to our tow bar to unwind a long way but did drive at a snails pace.)The little arms to keep the wire in place didn’t tighten upright so kept falling down. It’s now at the local tip!!

[@FarmLearningTim]

Probably a case of right tool for right job. And yeah, everyone I know welds the centre bar and welds handles on the adjustment screws. I love mine for winding up wire and for irrigation hose.

[@hollyberry4749]

@@FarmLearningTim I think the annoying thing is you shouldn’t have to weld it, if it’s sold for that purpose it ought to work, oh well lesson learnt for the next lot of paddocks we put in. My now choice is, donkeys or miniature galloways 😂

Problem with fence line spinner is it can't be adjusted

[@muletrack]

The language barrier is a little difficult for us in the U.S., but the worst part is I can't tell what brand names you are speaking of. I need a good spinner for high tensile fence. Brand names? Where to buy? It's a tough thing to find out. Internet has been worthless. Like the one you showed with adjusting arms that can also be used for rewinding. What brand is that?Available in the U.S.?

[@FarmLearningTim]

As I say, check my website for links. timthompson.ag

@@FarmLearningTim Thanks. I will. All I see are cheap ones that you have to pound into the dirt -- try that in the North Dakota winter!
