Abstract: A fence winding reel device including a rotatable frame with a slotted groove along its length and a pair of curved plates, together which comprise an expandable core. In an expanded position, a pair of expanders holds the pair of curved plates away the frame. An end of fence wire is placed into the slotted groove of the frame. The reel device may be connected to any standard earth auger mounted on a skidsteer loader. As the auger motor rotates, fence wire is wound around the expandable core to form a wound fence coil. Removing the fence coil from the reel device involves contracting the core, which narrows the distance between the expanders and the frame, and sliding the coil off the core and out of the frame groove. The reel device may also be used to lay down fence wire by operating the auger motor in a reverse rotational direction. A hydraulic core expander is also depicted.
