chris, how do you tip your bags into your pick up? attach to loader and tip them over or hand bal out?

haha, i've been asked that so many times now, I must get a video up... yeah i use a loader. trouble is you can bet your bottom dollar that when i do get round to filming it it'll all go bosoms up and i'll have to video it a 2nd time at least!

 

would be interesting to find out if other loadhandler users have a different mechanical method of tipping the bags out, there is a trick to it to make sure you don't ruck up the drag sheet.

Thanks for the ideas, will try out the dumpy bags.

I tried everything give in and concrete pad and bobcat. Have made some bund walls from tin plate and ibc crates filled with logs. I use 1.5 cu vent bags and when the concrete is empty tip bags out start again. Can load 2 cu in 5 mins inc leveling.

Jeeeesus Christ!! Does nobody have any common sense anymore??

 

"Common sense" is an oxymoron - just like "Military intelligence"... ;-)

I dont see the common sence bit. He asked how people load there logs there are hundreds of ways and several different budgets. The obvious way is to pick up and hand ball but you would be an idiot if there was a loader next to you. I have many different methods of storage and several machines which get used depending on ground conditions.

I load everything by hand, unload everything by hand but then I'am not flat out just doing logs.

I would be looking to get a small cheap forklift to hang the bags on to load. Thats about as far as I would go, the mucking about you would do with a tractor and a bucket I could have a bag loaded.

I think it depends on your age, the older you get the more sense that tractor loader makes.
