Patent number: 6554221Abstract: A system and method for unwinding cable from a cable spool typically using an all-terrain vehicle. The cable spool is typically rotatably mounted on a conventional jackstand provided on a trailer, and the cable unwinding system includes a roller drum rotatably mounted on the conventional rear rack of the all-terrain vehicle. According to the method of the invention, the free end of the cable is initially extended from the cable spool and looped around the roller drum, and a tether provided on the trailer or jackstand is removably fastened to the free end portion of the cable on one side of the roller drum. As the all-terrain vehicle is driven away from the cable spool, the roller drum pulls the cable from the cable spool as the rotating cable spool dispenses the cable. After a selected length of cable has been removed from the cable spool, the all-terrain vehicle is stopped and re-positioned for pulling another segment of cable from the spool.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2001Date of Patent: April 29, 2003Inventor: Cecil R.
