Big Sky Country | Some great ideas here.
If you’re taking rolls off, and planning to reuse, you’re exactly right on pvc for a core with tie wires in place.
I can put mine on loader bucket or bolt to hyrabed. Loader is neat, as you can weave and motor will hold more than it can pull, so can back up when rolling all wires together as junk, if they get hung up in brush.
Loader also: slide full rolls off—my roller is top of bucket. Let them fall into bucket. When bucket full, dump into pickup box junk trailer.
My motor is little, but with low spool, if wire hangs up, will pull pickup backward, on hard level ground.
I want a couple of 5” Posts, or dozer end bit, on far end to keep tight.
For ease of unrolling, you want to be able to- safely- weave wire back and forth. I was gonna make kinda a fair lead that pivots, long handle.
The screw on stays: 14”—or so— bolt cutters are indispensable when fencing!! Also when grass fires are running and you’re ahead . I’ve been told “ I think you like cutting fence you don’t gotta fix.” I agreed. Downwind fence corners catch hell.
Anyway, steel post clips, staples that don’t wanna pull, number 9 brace wire, 12 1/2 gauge that you’re tired pliers and tireder hands ain’t interested in—cuts like butter, 20$ @ Ace.
Now—back to the stays: cut one stay wire at every barb, fold them up. After 5’000 or so cuts, you’re bolt cutters are limbered up and will be the pair people grab.
But for your project, Russ—there’s lots of them big cable spools around and metal ones be even better. If I was closer, I’d stop by. Not too help, but can boss good, make smart ass remarks, drink your beer, etc..
