Installing wire fencing—whether it's barbed wire, high-tensile, or smooth wire—requires precision, tension, and speed. Manual stretching often leads to saggy lines, inconsistent tension, and excess labor. Enter the EZG Fence Hog Stringer Tension Wire, a purpose-built skid-steer attachment that streamlines wire fence installation with unmatched ease and professionalism. Let’s dive into why this tool is a game-changer in fencing operations.

Compatible with barbed, high-tensile, and smooth wire types, this tool combines power, durability, and precision—letting you pull wire tight, align it perfectly, and clip it onto posts from the comfort of your operator’s seat.
With its stringer-style tension system, the Fence Hog grips wire firmly and smoothly pulls it straight using the skid steer’s hydraulics. This eliminates manual stretching, reduces manpower needs, and ensures long-lasting fence performance.
