Fencing is what many businesses rely on for security and organising, agricultural businesses especially depend on it for daily tasks. Whether it is used in large-scale farming, property management, or security purposes, fencing is essential for smooth operations. However, such an important feature comes with problems like being time-consuming, labour-intensive, and physically demanding. On larger properties fence installation is time consuming and expensive. FastFencer, a game-changing piece of equipment, simplifies how rural fencing is done. This is a bookmarking blog for people associated with the agricultural industry and fencing contractors. Let’s start with it now!


What Is a FastFencer?

The FastFencer is a specialised piece of equipment designed to streamline and simplify the process of erecting rural fences. Often referred to as the "wire spinner" or "quick fencer," the FastFencer is a machine that makes fencing not only quicker but safer and less physically taxing for both contractors and farmers. It’s specifically designed to address the challenges of large-scale fencing, making it an indispensable tool for anyone working with extensive fencing projects.


The standard FastFencer is designed to pick up to three fencing mesh rolls, each between 900mm and 1.8 metres high, and up to 250 metres in length, in a single lift. For larger feral fence projects, an option is available for rolls up to 500 metres long, making it an even more powerful tool for vast properties.


Enhanced Features for Large-Scale Projects

The FastFencer is designed for large-scale feral exclusion fencing projects, ideal for broadacre farms needing to protect crops and livestock from animals like wild dogs, kangaroos, and pigs. It can be upgraded to carry fencing rolls up to 500 metres, reducing downtime and improving efficiency. Compatible with various mesh sizes from 900mm to 1.8 metres, the FastFencer is versatile enough for both standard livestock and high-tensile feral fences, making it an essential tool for diverse fencing needs.


Key Benefits of Using a FastFencer

Massive Savings on Labour Costs

Fencing takes a lot of labour, especially on large rural properties. Traditionally, fencing projects required a team of workers to perform tasks like manually unrolling and tensioning wire mesh. With the FastFencer, these jobs can be finished by one operator, negating the need for so much labour. This results in labour cost savings because it can carry and tension multiple rolls of wire at once.


As fencing contractor jobs and farm maintenance costs rise, the ability to reduce labour needs becomes essential. The FastFencer offers an efficient solution that reduces both the workforce and time required to complete large fencing projects.


Improved Safety

Fencing tasks can be very difficult and dangerous especially when they are located on rough areas or uneven grounds. Injury is unavoidable while managing the bulky rolls of wire mesh as well as adjusting its tensioning manually. Safety was an underlying consideration for this FastFencer machine. It achieves this by allowing operators to carry out most of their duties from the ease of an operator’s chair thereby relieving them from manual lifting, strain and even going physical with such materials.


The FastFencer’s clamps, located on both sides of the machine, also improve safety by allowing the operator to work efficiently in either direction around the property, reducing unnecessary movements and potential risks.


Quicker Fencing Projects

Time is money, especially in farming. The FastFencer enables fencing projects to be completed in a fraction of the time it would take using traditional methods. After lifting up to three rolls of fencing mesh, the operator can quickly tie the first roll to a strainer and simply drive the machine forward to unroll and tension the wire when ready. Once the mesh is aligned, it can be clamped tightly from the operator’s cabin, ensuring precision and consistency throughout the fence line. This reduces the time spent walking back and forth to adjust or tension the wire, making the entire process significantly faster.


For large properties requiring kilometres of fencing, the FastFencer's ability to pick up multiple rolls and work efficiently in both directions means that massive areas can be fenced in a relatively short time. This allows farmers and contractors to move on to other tasks more quickly, boosting productivity.


How to Use a FastFencer

A FastFencer operator should be well-versed with the working of the machinery before using it. FastFencer is designed for fencing contractors and farmers, keeping ease of use in mind. With proper knowledge and practice, an operator can quickly get to work, without the need for extensive training. Here’s a basic overview of how the FastFencer works:

  • Loading the Rolls: Place the three rolls on the ground and line up with the three spikes. Drive forward ensuring the three poles are fully in the rolls, before vertically raising the rolls with your parent machine. DO NOT vertically lift the rolls until you have done this. The mesh rolls will not smoothly slide down the poles and will grab. Over time this will bend the poles and adversely effect the smooth efficient unraveling of the rolls.
  • Driving without tension: From the operator's cabin, drive the machine forward along the fence line. The mesh will unroll evenly as the machine moves, and the wire can be tensioned by driving the machine forward to the desired level when it’s time to tie it off.
  • Tying Off the Wire: Once the rolls are in place, tie the first roll to the starting strainer. Using the clamping mechanism, the operator can clamp the wire tight from their cabin seat, ensuring precision without manual adjustment.
  • Join the next roll: At any stage the operator will need to join the three rolls together. This process is so much easier with the rolls vertical firmly in place on the Fast Fencer. 
  • Finished the three rolls: Depending on the length of the rolls used, you can reloaded and go again. If you’ve just put up 1.5k of fence, you may just call it a day! 


Why You Need a FastFencer for Your Property?

For large-scale rural operations, time and labour savings are crucial. Investing in a FastFencer can reduce fencing costs, improve worker safety, and complete fencing projects more quickly and efficiently. Whether you’re a fencing contractor, a farm owner, or managing a large property, the FastFencer is a must-have piece of equipment for anyone looking to improve their fencing processes.

Time lost on a fencing job rarely comes back. The season opens, the ground is workable, and there's a long run to get through before conditions change. Most people underestimate how much the choice of equipment shapes how that run actually goes. The gap between manual post driving and a post driver for a skid steer is bigger than most expect before they've experienced both side by side. The Reality of Manual Post Driving Manual post driving works. But working and working efficiently across a full day are two different things. Every post requires the operator to position equipment by hand, strike repeatedly, check alignment, correct if needed, and move on. On a short job with easy ground, that's manageable. Once the run stretches out, it becomes the thing that eats the day. Depth varies from post to post. Alignment drifts. The operator tires and small errors start creeping in before anyone notices. A job that looked achievable in the morning starts pushing into the next day. That's not a failure of effort. It's the natural limit of what manual methods can sustain across a serious fencing run. What Changes When a Skid Steer Gets Involved The operator stays in the cab throughout. The machine repositions between posts without anyone climbing off or dragging equipment into position by hand. The fence post driver handles the impact. The operator handles placement. That shift alone changes the pace of the whole job. The bigger change is consistency. Controlled hydraulic force delivers the same result post after post. Depth stays uniform. Alignment stays cleaner across the run. The small corrections that cost manual operators minutes at a time stop being a constant part of the day. ere the Time Actually Goes Faster driving is the obvious saving. A skid steer post driver gets through a post in a fraction of the time manual methods take. Across hundreds of posts, that adds up to hours, not minutes. Fewer corrections is the next one. Posts that go in consistently straight don't need adjusting. A fence line built with uniform depth and clean alignment doesn't need rework once the wire is up. Less fatigue is the saving that doesn't get counted but matters most. The physical load stays on the machine rather than the operator. The pace that starts the morning holds through the afternoon in a way that manual driving simply can't match once the day gets long. Hard Ground Is Where the Gap Really Opens Up On easy ground, manual post driving is slow. On hard ground it becomes genuinely difficult to sustain Compacted clay, rocky sections, ground baked dry across an Australian summer. These are the conditions where manual methods lose hours that don't come back. Progress slows, and the results get inconsistent just when the job needs them most. A post driver handles those changes without the operator having to compensate manually. The hydraulic system responds to resistance and the job keeps moving. In particularly tough or difficult to access sections, the PostPuncher can work on slopes, over ditches, and into spots where manual driving simply isn't a realistic option. Access Is Part of the Time Equation Too Manual driving means carrying or dragging equipment to each post location. A fence post driver on a skid steer moves with the machine. Tight corners, steep creek banks, narrow sections near yards and sheds. A skid steer gets into those spots without the setup that larger machinery requires. Less time getting to the post means more time actually driving it. What the Difference Looks Like Across a Season On a single job, the time saving is noticeable. Across a full season of fencing work, it becomes significant. Faster installation. Fewer corrections. Less fatigue dragging down the second half of the day. Better access across sections of the property that used to cause delays. All of it adds up across every run the season brings. For anyone still relying on manual methods for regular fencing work, the question isn't whether a skid steer post driver saves time. It's how much time has already been lost without one. QuikFence supplies a range of post drivers suited to skid steers and Australian conditions, including the PostPuncher, FencePro, and ThunderPro.
