Hi All,
I need to take down a section of barbed-wire fence that is directly behind a house on some land that I recently purchased. The land was used last year to run cattle and there are areas where they ran t-posts with 4 strands of barbed-wire. I want to leave the end posts but just take down about 400' of the fence directly behind the house. This is a straight section that runs between two solid end posts. I need to box-blade the area as water drains toward the walk-out basement, etc. I'll maybe put the fence back up in a year or two.
I know I can't just walk up and cut the wire as that would be a very dangerous thing to do. Is there an easy way to take down this section? Is there a special tool to hold the wire (to prevent it from springing at me) while I cut it?
Thanks,
Tom
