Netting Unroller Platform

With nearly 3500 grape clusters this year, last year's solution of bagging our grapes with wedding bags was not a solution we wanted to entertain. So as soon as we were confident that we could have a harvest that required netting, we ordered it from our provider.
We will be netting 10 rows of grape clusters this year, which brings up the question of how to unroll the netting which comes in rolls of 31-inches by 1650 feet! My husband thought that we could ask our welder to design something that would fit on the Landini's trailer hitch which would be attached to the three point hitch which we would attach to our hydraulics so that we could raise or lower the netting as needed.

When my husband talked with our ace welder, Scott, he said, "What about using your riding mower?" That sounded like a reasonable idea so on Wednesday, Scott came to retrieve our riding mower as well as a roll of netting so that he could design the unroller platform. Yesterday, Friday, Scott came back with our riding mower with the netting unroller platform that he designed for us. First of all, he did it so quickly! Thank you, Scott! This is what the netting unroller platform looks like:

We have 3 more rows of weeding to do before we can put up the netting. When we do, I'll report back on how the unroller performed.
