Jez Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 Palmerston North Ay, we visited there. Went to the national rugby museum. Passed some big contractors near there too, a guy with a big m etc. I would go for cattle, no way you could manage to fill it with sheep. Go for a contractor too, like the lorry and the Liebherr 360. Keep trying till it comes right mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FW Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 Looking good Kiwi......looks like you'll have to get the monkey climber out to strain that wire, or it won't keep anything in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi6920 Posted July 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 Looking good Kiwi......looks like you'll have to get the monkey climber out to strain that wire, or it won't keep anything in. Yeah i know im having issues straning the wire, the strainers keep pulling up, i might have to glue them down and then try straining the wire, any tips?

FW Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 Yeah i know im having issues straning the wire, the strainers keep pulling up, i might have to glue them down and then try straining the wire, any tips? Yeah, just use somthing thin like the end of a small paint brush, twist it around it at one point, until it comes right. Should look like a join in the wire as well.

Kiwi6920 Posted December 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 Vintage contracting, the owners of down under farm sold up last month, the owner wanted out so it was brought by Green line Agriculture, They run a large fleet of fendt and John Deere, They are taking out the 1st 2 padocks to add in more yard space and a huge workshop, possably a new silage pit also for the neighbour, There will be some pics to come in the week coming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richie Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 I used thread for my fence glued one end to the strainer and drilled a hole into the board a deep one and stuck the post in and just turned the post till the thread came tight, The post must be tight in the hole to keep the tension on the thread. It worked well for me. Cant wait for more photos mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
