best way of filling up small net sacks?

[ledders666]

I've just bought 500 woven nets to start for next winters log supply, Do any of you guys have any quick ways to fill up these sacks, as im just doing by hand one log at a time, its rather slow, any tips would be great thanks

bloody hell it does work well, but if i could change anything it could do with being just a tad taller.

Can you not weld a piece in to extend the height?? Or stand it on a log

[Swedish Dave]

yeh could mod it but should of made it taller from the start. have had it on a log but its just not right . still does the job tho

hi make a square frame put 4 fencing staples to hang your net on then put 4 legs on it and away u go we have one with 10 bags hanging we can do 400+in a day one filling and the other hanging the bags and taking them out and stacking them try it the tray bagger from fuelwood is ok with polly bags but we have one but never use it for the nets good luck

I got an ordinary plaggy dustbin, cut it in half lenth ways, cut the bottom bit out and shaped it so it looks like a big scoop and slide the net over it, dead simple, cheap and i did 30 nets an hout (its mind numbing though)

My mate who does logs fills from a big bin/box at waist height with two cup hooks screwed in the front to hold one side of the bag open. He holds the bag open with one hand and fills with the other. It's also worth trying to drop more rounded bits in first as they get to the bottom easier.
