What animals are you fencing in?

Cows and sheep most of it is government grant fencing

Cows and sheep most of it is government grant fencing

We use 47/48" woven with 1-2 barbs on top and hot wires. Sometimes 6 or 7 strands of barb but some use 5, I have seen calves dive through a 5 strand ......well hell that cow I was talking about before would just doze through a 5 strand but then again she would doze through anything.

How tall is your woven wire ?

 

[Bill G]

By the way that looks like some excellent fence building

How tall is your woven wire ?

Thanks it’s been a chore this winter with all the wet weather
Working in clay

 

[Bill G]

The woven wire is 32”

When we still had hogs outside we ran 32" with a couple bars or 39" without. You always ran one barb on the bottom also but I am not sure it ever help. Electric is essential with hogs and cattle

As for your soil clay is bad. We have it here but we also have sand. I hate sand.......heck I hate clay to.

Normal farm stuff today. Super Glue a tire sidewall to see if it’ll hold. I think it’ll be too rigid but we’ll see ….


Painted the 3pt mover deal last night and tossed it on the lawnmower today. Looks decent knowing who built it


Loading some oats to get fanned. Gonna see just how much tractor is here once it’s full

“rema tip top” makes patches rated for sidewalls


They’re not terribly expensive. I’ve used a few and they’re still holding air. Rema makes good *s-word

Rema is all I use for inside tire work

Safety seal makes the best rope plugs I’ve ever used but I’ve never tried rema ropes. I’ve got safety seal ropes in most of my tractor tires. Cause ya know deer toss the antlers out in the field for me to run over religiously

Those work great on bigger tires. I use them on my 35's here.

I need to find an excellent sealant for UTV tires since I am excellent at finding thorns

Haven’t found anything either

 

[Bill G]

I bought a gallon Tire Ject but I have not tried it

Just plug them, one of my folks gators has tires that have been plugged several times. They hold air until a new thorn or nail is found. Simple fix & not a sloppy mess when filling or removing the tire.

Fortunately ( knocking on wood as I type this ), after countless hours & acres spraying pasture, crp & some recreational use, I have yet to have a flat.

I think tread depth & rubber density/plies make a big difference.

I am rarely on concrete, mostly dirt or gravel roads.

I put a set of these on my Gator & have no regrets.
