You know how to wind up 500 feet of polywire in 10 seconds? Kuhn rotary tedder. Solid wads of that stuff don't cut nearly as easily as single strands.

Back in the 1950's the telephone company removed all the old solid single strand steel telephone wire and replaced it with modern cable. A few farmers tried to use it for fence, but it was too hard to handle, and rust pitted so that it snapped if you tried to bend it. Most of it wound up being tossed in the town dump. The town hired my father to push the dump over the bank that fall. He got about a mile of that stuff tangled in the racks of his JD 420 Dozer. Wire cutters wouldn't touch it, hacksaw wouldn't either. He cut some of it with a hammer and cold chisel against the dozer itself. Finally he had to hire someone with a torch to clean up the rest of it. I don't think he ever took that job again.
