         2 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein said vertical spindle is dimensioned to hold a roll of net wire having an extended width.  
     
     
         3 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the frame means comprises a U-shaped element having a horizontal middle section and two side portions, and three pins outwardly facing on each side portion.  
     
     
         4 . The apparatus according to  claim 3 , wherein the U-shaped element has a crossbar between the side portions and a vertical support bar positioned from the crossbar up to the center of the U-shaped element for supporting the vertical spindle.  
     
     
         5 . The apparatus according to  claim 3 , further comprising holder arms, and wherein two of said pins have fasteners on each side portion, and support said pair of holder arms, each said holder arm further having a support brace.  
     
     
         6 . The apparatus according to  claim 5 , further comprising a horizontal cylindrical bar, and wherein said horizontal cylindrical bar is held by the holder arms, and said bar has at least three wire rolls spaced symmetrically thereon.  
     
     
         7 . The apparatus according to  claim 6 , wherein said horizontal cylindrical bar has at least three pairs of non-rotatable circular discs for retaining said at least three wire rolls.  
     
     
         8 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising an upper extension on the right-angled bar, and wherein the telescopic hollow bar is made up of said upper extension of the right-angled bar and a lower straight bar.  
     
     
         9 . The apparatus according to  claim 8 , further comprising a vertical bar is attached to said frame means, and telescopes into said lower straight bar of the right-angled bar.  
     
     
         10 . The apparatus according to  claim 9 , wherein a braking handle is provided on said lower straight bar of the right-angled bar.  
     
     
         11 . The apparatus according to  claim 10 , further comprising a vertical bar extending down from the horizontal portion of the right-angled bar, and terminating in a keyhole for the braking handle.  
     
     
         12 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the apparatus includes a hitch for connection to a three-point hitch of a tractor.  
     
     
         13 . The apparatus according to  claim 12 , wherein the hitch comprises a sliding first sleeve having a series of adjustment apertures and two latching pins, and having a second partial supporting sleeve underslung, and having a stud at one end for abutting the tractor on the centered top hitch, and having a slot for supporting a slidable extension.  
     
     
         14 . The apparatus according to  claim 13 , wherein the U-shaped element has its bottommost pins hitched to the pair of arms of the three-way hitch of the tractor.  
     
     
         15 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the apparatus incudes a hitch for connection to a truck.  
     
     
         16 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the frame portion comprises a U-shaped crossbar having a straight portion and two right-angled legs.  
     
     
         17 . The apparatus according to  claim 16 , further comprising a hinge at each end of the crossbar's straight portion, and a pair of arms having apertured ends, each hinge supporting one of said arms having an apertured lug at its distal end, and a horizontal cylindrical bar, said lugs supporting said horizontal cylindrical bar.  
     
     
         18 . The apparatus according to  claim 17 , wherein said horizontal cylindrical bar has at least three pairs of non-rotatable circular discs for retaining at least three wire rolls.
