Removable Wood Fence?

[Learning to Farm]

So, I had lime spread on the pastures yesterday and learned that the orginial folks that set up these pastures, never tried to get a spreader truck into one of them (they have done little pasture maintence so I am not surprised). So I had 6T of lime that needed to go into this particular pasture, so I had the nice spreader man use his loader to "remove" two sections of wood fence. Ok, really he did was snap off a 3x3 post (yes, I said 3x3, this fence is really bad) and one replaced board which was oak. I kicked the thin pressure treated pine boards off the post (they installed some real high $ fencing for horses, < dripping with sarcasim>).

Question: Does anyone have pictures of removable sections of fence? I am thinking 6x6s posts with a floating post in the middle attached with lagbolts.

It will probably be removed no more than once a year (if that). For those asking why not just put a gate in, this would attach to a field I am doing a full renovation on and I don't want anyone having that easy of an access to that field, and padlocks while effective make people think I am mean (which I'm really not, haha ).

Simple fix, set your 2 6x6 post on the ends where you want the removeable section. Go to TSC and get 4 or six of the old time shed/barn door hinges, they look like long lag bolts with and L bent on the end, the eye part of the hinge mount on the moveable section. drop the section down on the hinge bolts and your done. Just make sure you keep them greased so they apart.
