Any farmers or ranchers in the house?

Very off topic but I need advice on a piece of equipment and the farm forums I've hit up haven't responded.
 
So my hunting partner and I hunt a farm and help the rancher out with coyote control (he has goats and sheep) as an old school gentlemans agreement in turn for hunting rights. We also help him out with chores when we can as the guy is really nice. He uses this ancient fence stretcher that he jokingly refers to as the widow maker as it constantly pops loose and hits him.

I second the come-along it is what we use also! But if you have a agricultural super store they will have one(fence stretcher)!
 
We just use the tractor, so run to the local JD dealer, drop 250K, and get the front end loader just because you can!
All kidding aside - your (or his) local farm store or feed mill may be the best place to start.
 
BTW, that fence stretcher of his is a classic piece of vintage agriculture! Probably 10x the value of a new one and built 100x better.
