Essential Fencing Equipment for Large - Scale Rural Projects

When tackling a major fencing project on your farm, grazing property, large rural property, or beef lot, having the right equipment is key to efficiency, durability, and long-term success. Whether you’re fencing to keep out feral pests like kangaroos, pigs, and goats or securing livestock and crops, investing in high-quality fencing tools and machinery makes all the difference. Here’s a breakdown of essential fencing equipment and the benefits of using it.

FastFencer or FastFencer Jr: Efficient Fence Rolling & Straining

A FastFencer is a must-have for rolling out and straining large fabricated wire fence rolls quickly and with minimal effort.

Key benefits:

• Speeds up fence installation, covering more ground in less time.
• Reduces manual labour, allowing a small team to handle big jobs efficiently.
• Provides consistent tension for a strong, reliable fence that lasts.

Hydraulic or Pneumatic Post Driver: Powerful and Precise Post Installation

Driving posts manually is time-consuming and exhausting. A hydraulic or pneumatic post driver ensures posts are driven deep into the ground for maximum stability. 

Key benefits:

• Saves hours of hard labour compared to manual post driving.
• Ensures solid, deep post placement, which is crucial for exclusion fencing.
• Works on tough terrain, including rocky and compacted soil, with ease.

Wire Spinners and Strainers: Smooth Wire Handling

Handling long lengths of fencing wire is much easier with wire spinners and strainers. 

Key benefits:

• Prevents tangling and damage to wire during installation.
• Ensures proper tensioning, which is essential for keeping feral pests out.
• Reduces manual effort, improving accuracy and efficiency.

Crimping and Joining Tools: Secure Wire Connections

A strong fence is only as good as its connections. Crimping and joining tools help secure wires at strain points and extensions. 

Key benefits:

• Creates strong, durable joins that won’t weaken over time.
• Reduces the risk of wire failure, ensuring a long-lasting fence.
• Makes fence repairs and extensions quick and easy.

Auger or Post Hole Digger: Effortless Post Hole Preparation

Strainer posts and corner assemblies need deep, sturdy holes, which an auger or post hole digger can create efficiently. 

Key benefits:

• Saves hours of digging time, especially on large properties.
• Ensures precise hole depth and width for stable fence foundations.
• Works in different soil conditions, even compacted or rocky terrain.

Electric Fence Tester: Checking Voltage & Fence Integrity

If your fencing includes an electric component, an electric fence tester is a must-have for monitoring performance. 

Key benefits:

• Ensures electric fences remain an effective deterrent against pests.
• Helps detect faults or voltage drops quickly.
• Reduces downtime and keeps fencing systems reliable.

Vehicle or Trailer-Mounted Fence Installation Kit: On-the-Go Efficiency

Fencing over large areas requires mobility. A vehicle or trailer-mounted fence installation fully kitted up keeps all essential tools organised and easily accessible. 

Key benefits:

• Makes transporting equipment across large properties effortless.
• Improves efficiency by keeping tools within easy reach.
• Reduces fatigue and increases productivity on large fencing projects.

Why Invest in Quality Fencing Equipment?

Saves Time & Labour: High-quality tools reduce physical strain and speed up installation.

• Ensures a Strong, Long-Lasting Fence – Proper installation using the right equipment creates a fence that stands the test of time.
• Reduces Long-Term Costs – Investing in good equipment minimises repair and replacement expenses due to poor installation.
• Increases Productivity – The right tools allow fencing teams to cover more ground efficiently.

Summary

For farmers, graziers, and fencing contractors facing large-scale fencing projects, having the right equipment is essential for a strong and efficient fence. Investing in tools like FastFencers, hydraulic post drivers such as the ThunderPro and FencePro saves time and money but also ensures a reliable barrier to protect livestock and crops from feral pests.
