Solar energizer

Gallagher's S50 solar energizer producers 0.5 Joules capable of powering up to 30 acres, or five miles, of multi-wire fence. The self-contained design is portable, has a built-in carry handle and easily mounts on walls, wooden posts, T-posts or placed on the ground. A large rotary switch makes the S50 easy to operate and an LED flashes to show the unit is functioning correctly. An automatic night mode monitors light levels and lengthens the pulse rate to save power when animals become less active.

Auger bucket

Danuser Industrial Group's auger bucket mixes, transports and dispenses concrete (up to 1-in. slump), sand, washed gravel (¾-in. max), asphalt, wildlife feed and agricultural grain. It features a ½-yard capacity of premix concrete and up to ¾-yard with an optional hopper extension. The auger can discharge a ½-yard in 50 seconds, and the quick-attach frame allows for right- or left-handed discharge.

Fence tester

Eight Light Fence Tester model 3360, from Dare Products, accurately measures fence voltage up to 7,000 volts. It is designed for neat storage at an affordable price.

Fence mender

Gripple Plus, from Gripple Inc., is designed to connect wires on all types of fence without the bending or twisting of wires. It splices, tightens and eliminates the need for crimps, ratchet strainers, come-alongs and stretchers.

Wire winder mount

A new universal mount for wire winders from Pro-Tatch is applicable on most anything with hydraulics, including loader buckets, pickup boxes and other equipment.

Post-driver trailers

Shaver Manufacturing introduces its TU series of trailers for mounting post drivers that allows operators to transport posts with the drivers.

The standard TU-13 trailer features a self-contained, 13-hp Honda engine with electric start. The TU-13T unit hooks up to a tractor and is powered by the tractor's hydraulic system.

Conductor

Measuring 4.5mm in diameter, IntelliRope PE 4.5 from Premier is black and white to provide extra visibility and is an excellent “starter” material for receiving paddocks. Its “super conductor” design allows electrical pulses to travel further while being less affected by vegetation on the fenceline.

T-post insulator

Premier's Heavy Duty Offset T-Post Insulator features a pin-lock design that holds conductors 9 in. away from the post. The wrap-around base provides strength and support while the internal X design resists up, down and side-to-side strain.

Driveway alert probe

Gate Bird's Solar 9V Driveway Alert Probe is wireless and capable of transmitting radio calls up to a ½-mile or more, depending on terrain. The 20-in. probe is buried slightly underground parallel to the driveway while an 80-ft. cable can be coiled to fit the application. The electronic sensing board and radio transmitter is housed in a small square 4.7-in., all-weather enclosure, which can be placed as close to the probe as convenient. A 9-volt Lithium battery version is also available that will perform without the solar charger.

Gate lock

Lokk-Latch^® Deluxe is an improved version of the Lokk-Latch Pro^® but costs 10% less. One latch fits vinyl, metal or wood gates and features rekeyable, six-pin security locks, adjustability for easy installation. An External Access Kit is available.

The extremely portable SG50 has a unique stay-on fence wire clip, on/off switch and weatherproof construction.

Post driver attachment

The Pilot Auger, distributed by Kencove Farm Fence and Shaver Manufacturing, digs pilot holes that make driving posts quicker and easier and reduces driver wear.

The rails are the same pipe-in-pipe “swedge” rail connection that's part of the company's all-steel pipe fencing. The rail-in-rail design can be constructed as a single continuous rail to whatever length is needed.

Energizer for horses

Power Wizard's line of electric fence energizers for horse owners shocks through weeds and brush.
