We have a three point hay unroller that was made by a neighbor out of the
drive wheel of an old combine. It has a spike that is bolted on which
rotates to unroll the hay. To roll up wire I unbolted the spike and
replaced it with a truck wheel split down the middle and bolted back to
together. To get the wire off, you take the wheel apart and remove the
roll of wire. It is the same size as the new rolls so can be reused in our
spinning ginny. It is slow though. It rotates at 30 rpm and it does funny
things to your eyes while you are rolling it up. But it has power. The
wire is going to wind up or break.
I'm surprised FW hasn't cobbled together something.
