I went around the post with the x brace wire.
That is the same type stretcher I have and I pulled for everything my RTV900 had in her. My dad used his come-a-long with it too.The last fence job I did where I had to put up woven wire I used two 2x4's and 4 1/2" carriage bolts 6" long. The oven wire gets sandwiched between the boards that are bolted together, a winch pulling on it at the top and bottom and it will pull the wire nice and tight. I don't do enough woven wire to have a desire to buy the stretcher bar for woven wire.
I do it the same way.The last fence job I did where I had to put up woven wire I used two 2x4's and 4 1/2" carriage bolts 6" long.

for that much fencing the effort and cost to build that makes perfect sense.about 2000 ft of fencing..
Thanks much for the catch on that...I actually used some all-threads and bars to mechanically attached to the 3pt. On the bottom weld, I used trailer receiver extended channel and welded a 14" trailer hitch raw bar to give more strength.for that much fencing the effort and cost to build that makes perfect sense.
And odds are you will use it more than a few times going forward.
Nice Build BTW
Keep a good eye on that weld at the bottom. I don't see a tab connecting that upright to the top link. If that weld on the bottom is the only thing holding it to the triangle you might end up needing more. even a bit of chain or steel cable would likely do.
mine is high tensile. https://images.kencove.us/prod/product/assets/WDN10-6BB.pdfunless it is high tensile woven wire)
I've seen that. I don't think it'll hold up to a real good stretch. I intend to pull on it real hard.
The only reason that I had said that is I've never messed with high tensile woven wire but what I've read on it and watched on Youtube they've always used a very stout stretching bar. That being said it has always been from a person that does alot of it.mine is high tensile. https://images.kencove.us/prod/product/assets/WDN10-6BB.pdf
