Fence construction device and method

Abstract

A fence construction device includes a platform including an upper surface and a lower surface. Wheels are coupled to the lower surface of the platform. An auger drill is coupled to an upper surface of the platform. The auger drill is moveable up and down along a first vertical axis. A post drive is coupled to an upper surface of the platform and moveable up and down along a second vertical axis. A spool is rotatably coupled to the upper surface of the platform and is rotatable about a third vertical axis. The post drive is disposed in between the auger drill and the spool. The auger drill and the post drive are aligned along a horizontal axis.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A fence construction device comprising:
 a platform comprising an upper surface and a lower surface;   wheels coupled to the lower surface of the platform;   an auger drill coupled to the platform and moveable up and down along a first vertical axis;   a post drive coupled to the platform and moveable up and down along a second vertical axis; and   a spool rotatably coupled to the platform and rotatable about a third vertical axis, wherein   the post drive is disposed in between the auger drill and the spool, and   at least the auger drill and the post drive are aligned along a horizontal axis.   
     
     
         2 . The fence construction device of  claim 1 , wherein the auger drill is coupled to and hangs over a first side of the platform. 
     
     
         3 . The fence construction device of  claim 1 , wherein the spool is aligned along the horizontal axis. 
     
     
         4 . The fence construction device of  claim 1 , further comprising hydraulic control valves coupled to the platform. 
     
     
         5 . The fence construction device of  claim 1 , further comprising an auger hydraulic drive coupled to the auger and a post hydraulic drive coupled to the post drive, wherein the hydraulic driver and the post hydraulic drive are fluidly connected to the hydraulic control valves by hose lines. 
     
     
         6 . The fence construction device of  claim 1 , further comprising a fence wire clamp, wherein a fence spool feeds to a fence post by the fence wire clamp. 
     
     
         7 . A method of constructing a fence comprising:
 providing a trailer comprising:
 a platform comprising an upper surface and a lower surface; 
 wheels coupled to the lower surface of the platform; 
 an auger drill coupled to the platform; 
 a post drive coupled to the platform; and 
 a spool rotatably coupled to the platform and comprising fence wire; 
   drilling a hole in the ground via the auger drill;   pulling the trailer along a fence line until the post drive is disposed over the hole;   driving a fence post into the hole via the post drive;   pulling the trailer along the fence line until the fence wire is disposed in front of the fence post; and   coupling the fence wire to the fence post.   
     
     
         8 . The fence construction device of  claim 1 , further comprising hydraulic control valves coupled to the platform. 
     
     
         9 . The fence construction device of  claim 1 , further comprising an auger hydraulic drive coupled to the auger and a post hydraulic drive coupled to the post drive, wherein the hydraulic driver and the post hydraulic drive are fluidly connected to the hydraulic control valves by hose lines. 
     
     
         10 . The fence construction device of  claim 1 , further comprising a fence wire clamp, wherein a fence spool feeds to the fence post by the fence wire clamp.
