That would work mate, but a fair bit of leverage.

Looks more Arthurian, siege warfare ending.

You need the right tool for the job. That bag lifter looks good. 
 

Gripping something else is just adding more weight and leverage for no reason, and you have no margin for error as it is. 
 

Put your hand in your pocket mate.

Yep and for heavier loads the boom swiveling and you needing to drop it quickly would become a consideration. What's a bag of rakings though? 50kg? You can always start with an 8' post and cut it down until it's right.

Grabbing a six foot long bit of whatever that stores piss easily and can be put into action in ten seconds as opposed to ten minutes is enough reason.

 

1.5 of weak stuff. I'm trying to give up. It's not working.

I just imagine you'd tie the bag off then grab and squeeze the whole thing if it's just rakings, but I just had fizzy water with dinner so obviously not in a thinking mood.

That’s exactly what gave me the idea Paul.

 

Doobin I know you’re right, but I’m after speed with minimum fuck-on.

 

Alex, 50kg bags I can still hand-ball.

Even up to 100, which is why I got hernias.

I’m taking chocca bags full of wet conny rakings and dust.

For the cost of one fencepost and two pegs, just try it. This will spur me on to trying it too. Someone of this parish suggested similar a while ago. Not needed one yet but I have a spare fencepost so why not.

Other thoughts: use more bags and fill them less; grab the bags like Dan said.
