O'Briens Mega Reel - 3:1 Geared Reviews

4.4 Rating 14 Reviews
Read Kencove Farm Fence, Inc Reviews

The O'Briens Mega-Reel features an extra-large bobbin and standard 1:1 gearing. This reel has a galvanized crank handle mounted on nylon bushings to reduce wear and a durable one-piece bobbin.
- Holds up to 460' of electric tape, 1,320' of electric ribbon, or 2,640' of electric twine.
- Features an easy-grip PVC handle, wire guide, and handle hook
- Designed to hang directly onto a perimeter fence by the metal hook on the handle frame
Does not include non-conductive gate handle or guide.
To electrify the polywire, simply use a 4' Jumper Lead (MPC). Attach one clip to the electrified perimeter fence wire and the other to the metal loop on the side of the reel.
Upgrade your reel with the heavy-duty guide (RRWGX). It bolts quickly to the frame and provides a sturdy guide option that can weather the elements

Would jam up occasionally right after I first received it(Never made it to the pasture). Send back for repair. Now works just fine, though I was not advised what the problem was or cause. The reel guide I also purchased worked just fine. Thanks Kenneth L.

Seems to be a sturdy piece of equipment. We look forward to using it in the coming season. I think it may be a 5 star item once we use it.

This is probably best for poly twine, not poly rope. We cannot quite get 600ft of poly rope on the reel....which means we have to carry the other 400ft on our 1000ft runs in-hand. I wishe there was a carted version or hanging style with true extra capacity. We use poly rope as opposed to poly twine because of breaking strength on long runs, durability, and visibility for the animals. Overall the reel is made of good quality material, but extra capacity depends on the type of conductor you are using.
