Reeling and unreeling apparatus, system and method

A device for at least unreeling spools, reels, or rolls of fencing, wire, barbed wire, roll stock, or other wound ranching, agricultural or farming fencing material, and adapted for attachment to the rear of a tractor, pickup truck, or other vehicle comprising:

• a horizontal frame assembly including a drawbar and a cantilever frame, said drawbar adapted for connection to a vehicle;
• a vertical frame assembly affixed to said horizontal frame assembly and having a bracket adapted for connection to a vehicle;
• a rotatable shaft pivotally attached to said cantilever frame, said shaft having a pivot end pivotally attached to said cantilever frame and a terminal end, said shaft also having a base above said pivot end for supporting a spool of fencing material thereon, said shaft adapted for receiving the spool of fencing material thereover;
• a winch attached to said vertical frame assembly and having a winch cable selectively attached to said terminal end of said shaft for lowering and raising said shaft to selectively orient said shaft in an upright or horizontal position, wherein said winch cable has a hook at the free end thereof for releasably affixing the cable to an attachment loop at said terminal end of said shaft;
• and,
• a circular plate positioned proximate said terminal end of said shaft between said cable and the spool of material and dimensioned to prevent said cable from contacting the spool of material on said shaft.

A device for at least unreeling spools, reels, or rolls, of fencing, wire, barbed wire, roll stock, or other wound ranching, agricultural or farming fencing material, comprising:

• a horizontal frame assembly including a drawbar and a cantilever frame extending horizontally from said drawbar, said drawbar adapted for connection to a vehicle;
• a vertical frame assembly affixed to at least said drawbar of said horizontal frame assembly and having a bracket extending transversely therefrom and adapted for connection to a vehicle;
• a rotatable shaft pivotally attached to a free end of said cantilever frame, said shaft having a pivot end pivotally attached to said free end and a terminal end, said shaft also having a base above said pivot end for supporting a spool of material thereon, said shaft adapted for receiving the spool of material thereover;
• and
• a hydraulic cylinder attached to said shaft for lowering and raising said shaft to selectively orient said shaft in an upright or horizontal position.

A device for reeling and unreeling spools, reels or rolls of fencing, wire, barbed wire, roll stock, or other wound fencing material, comprising:

• a horizontal frame assembly including a drawbar and a cantilever frame extending horizontally from said drawbar, said drawbar adapted for connection to a vehicle;
• a vertical frame assembly affixed to at least said drawbar of said horizontal frame assembly and having a bracket extending transversely therefrom and adapted for connection to a vehicle;
• rotatably driven shaft pivotally attached to a free end of said cantilever frame, said shaft having a pivot end pivotally attached to said free end and a terminal end, said shaft also having a base above said pivot end for supporting a spool, reel, or roll of fencing, wire, barbed wire, or roll stock thereon, said shaft adapted for receiving the spool of material thereover;
• and
• means for selectively rotating said shaft to reel or unreel said fencing, wire, barbed wire, or roll stock.

A device for at least one of unreeling and reeling spools, reels, or rolls of fencing, wire, barbed wire, roll stock, or other wound agricultural, farming or ranching material, comprising:

• a horizontal frame assembly including a drawbar and a cantilever frame extending horizontally from said drawbar, said drawbar adapted for connection to a vehicle;
• a vertical frame assembly affixed to at least said drawbar of said horizontal frame assembly and having a bracket extending transversely therefrom and adapted for connection to a vehicle;
• a rotatable shaft pivotally attached to a free end of said cantilever frame, said shaft having a pivot end pivotally attached to said free end and a terminal end, said shaft also having a base above said pivot end for supporting a spool of material thereon, said shaft adapted for receiving the spool of material thereover;
• and
• shaft pivoting means mounted on at least one of said horizontal and vertical frame assemblies and operatively attached to at least one of said terminal end and said base of said shaft for lowering and raising said shaft to selectively orient said shaft in an upright or horizontal position.

A device for at least unreeling spools, reels, or rolls of fencing, wire, barbed wire, roll stock, or other wound ranching, agricultural or farming fencing material, and adapted for attachment to the rear of a tractor, pickup truck, or other vehicle, comprising:

• a horizontal frame assembly including a drawbar and a cantilever frame extending horizontally from said drawbar, said drawbar adapted for connection to a vehicle;
• a vertical frame assembly affixed to at least said drawbar of said horizontal frame assembly and having a bracket extending transversely therefrom and adapted for connection to a vehicle;
• a rotatable shaft pivotally attached to a free end of said cantilever frame, said shaft having a pivot end pivotally attached to said free said and a terminal end, said shaft also having a base above said pivot end for supporting a spool of fencing material thereon, said shaft adapted for receiving the spool of fencing material thereover;
• a winch attached to an upper end of said vertical frame assembly and having a winch cable selectively attached to said terminal end of said shaft for lowering and raising said shaft to selectively orient said shaft in an upright or horizontal position;
• and,
• a circular plate positioned proximate said terminal end of said shaft between said cable and the spool of material and dimensioned to prevent said cable from contacting the spool of material on said shaft.
