I'm putting up a lot of 48" H field fence now in about 250' stretches. I'm putting t-posts every 10' and 4x4's every 50' or so. I use a come-along (hand winch) to tighten. I stick a long pry-bar (you could use a pipe or t-post) vertically through the squares (kind of weave it) at the "loose end" of the fence, secure a chain at top & bottom of the bar & attach the winch hook to the middle of the chain. I then use a strap to attach the winch to a nearby tree or post and have at it. I try and tighten every 50'-75' but have gone 100' because there was nothing to grab onto sooner than that. It tightens up pretty quick. I'm using recycled field fence that I removed from other areas of the property and, as you can imagine, it's not straight like you get off a new roll. I straighten the worst spots by hand before I stretch it and it's not coming out too bad at all. I got the pre-formed clips with the t-posts I bought at TSC. They are a real time-saver instead of using wire off of a spool for tying the fence to the t-posts. I use regular fence staples at the 4x4's.

To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
