Start with banging in the fencing posts with the rear mounted knocker. Another good reason for having a front 3 point is carrying the fencing device. the whole job can all be carried out by one man.
The start of the stock fence is stapled to the straining post. We call that angled wooden post a "god father". The opened roll of fencing is fed through the vertical rollers on the far edge of the frame, and the tractor driven forwards close along the line of fence posts. This un-rolls and strains the fence and it can be stapled to the posts.

This 8 wire stock fence is the most commonly used over here. Reference is C8-80-15
C = 3mm diameter top & bottom wire & 2.5mm diameter verticals and intermediate horizontals - all galvanised wire.
8 = 8 x horizonal wires
80 = 800mm {31 inches high}
15 = 150mm {6 inches between verticals}
Note that the space between the lower horizontal wires is smaller than the top wires. This is to prevent small lambs getting their heads stuck in the gaps.
