Filling bags,

[Alycidon]

I have a big bulk pile, all my customers seem to want bagged product. At present I am using a frame and a 2 cu m bucket to load, bloody long winded as I have to drop the bucket, put forks back on to move the bag from the frame then reverse the process. Nick posted the other day that he had a baggywiz bag filler, how do people that use them rate them?.

 

Next year all my stuff will be in bags.

I've just started bagging next seasons wood as I cant compete with the local guys selling their bulk bags as a M3 when there not, so I thought of just advertising them as bulk bags no volume or weight. I've been having exactly the same problems as yourself and wondering about easier/faster ways to fill/stack them. What are these "baggywizz" things?

The only real solution is to buy another vehicle, you need to have a loader and fork lift to make the process proper quick. I was able to borrow a skid steer and telehandler to fill all my cube bags. I made a scaffold tower will ply wood funnel, worked a treat. Bagged and stacked 20 tonnes in two days on my own.

Why not get more than one frame? Cheaper than buying a loader and will cut down on the number of times you need to change implements.

Next year I will process the lot straight into the bags so the problem will be sorted. I borrow a teleporter to do the donkey work, with only maybe 70 cube of bulk left to bag then its not worth laying out serious money just to save a bit of time. It took me an hour to load two bags the other night. 2 frames is something I had not considered, should be able to get another one made up pretty cheaply.

As an after thought, I sell in barrow bags and use a wheelie bin with the bottom cut off as my method of filling.
