Abstract: A barbed wire installation mechanism is provided that is supported on an ATV rack with one or more poles extending vertically from the ATV rack onto which one or more barbed wire spools are placed. The mechanism includes a base plate to which the poles are attached. To hold the base plate on the ATV rack, “L” shaped brackets are attached to the base plate opposite the poles. The “L” shaped brackets slide around beams of the ATV rack and serve to hold the base plate on the ATV. A metal securing disk with a center bore fits on the pole and is placed on top of the barded wire spools to prevent the spools from sliding off the poles. A safety frame is further attached to the base plate that supports a screen to prevent the barbed wire from contacting an operator, and provide greater protection for the driver during a rollover.
