tightening fence

[beenthere]

Sounds more like the corner posts may be moving and just tightening the fence will cause them to move more.

A pic of the corner posts will help come up with a solution.

Temporary fixes are being offerred and they may suit you perfectly. Not knocking any of them. But I know the headaches of a corner post moving too. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif Re-building the corner post and braces, along with the cross wires may be the most helpful to you.

Here is an update.
I looped a chain around the top of the post and the front bumper of the tractor ( watched to many videos to tie it to the back) and pulled the corner posts back and tightened the wires again broke a couple but replaced them, and now it is as good as new.
Thanks everyone for all your help.
