The drum 34 is supported above the ground by the stand 38. The stand 38 includes a base 66 and a center support 70 extending upward from the base 66. In the embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 1-7, the base 66 includes a platform 74, two front feet 78 and two back wheels 82. To transport the reel 26, the center support 70 can be tilted backwards so that the front feet 78 are lifted off of the ground and the wheels 82 can be used to transport the reel 26. When in operation, the front feet 78 engage the ground to inhibit the reel 26 from moving. The wheels 82 are each connected to the platform 74 by an independent axle 86. In other words, in the illustrated embodiment, the wheels 82 are not connected to one another by a single axle 86 extending between both wheels 82. Rather, each wheel 82 is rotatably coupled to the platform 74 by a separate axle 86 that is capable of independent rotation.
