Combines grain bags

[m]

Yes the put up alot of hay that way here and some small grain barley or wheat. I know there is a used one for sale 406 388-4304 and ask to talk to Tom l. I am pretty sure it is still thereIJ I think it can be a pain to emty unless you have a good grain vac. but supposed to be able to handle high moisture for long time...

I have used one for 2 years...fast easy way to store grain...wild life can cause problems, they love to rip open the bags and get a free lunch...if you can keep spilled grain to a min. then wildlife will leave the bags alone....i have bagged...barley, wheat, flax, oats and peas...i clean the bags out with a vac. my custom trucker uses an auger and drag.....it is much better than pile on the ground. I was the first in the area to get one, mine has been rented out to several farmers..and now there are 3 baggers in the area...there are machines to remove the grain with relative ease, but they are expensive.....Baggers aren't for everyone..

In Iowa they are commonly used for silage. Been seeing them since the mid 80's. Some farms have rows and rows of them. Bag silage is a common name for this in these parts. Didn't know they were used for grain, or could be reused. Most I've seen driving around are cut up and burned as they are emptied. Interesting topic!

Started to get a lot of interest here in Australia over the last 2 years. I guess with the small wheat crop here last year it took a bit of a back seat but the previous year some quite large scale trials were done. They seem to be getting the thumbs over here. Wildlife is the biggest issue with them but is manageable. Apparently the bag idea originated in Argentina.

I saw those at the show also, but I didn't stop and ask questions. Did you find out what the bagger thing costs and what about the bag cost itself. I heard some amount per bushel but can't remember.
