Plastic Grain Bag Roller

With the growing popularity of plastic grain bags (some 12-feet-diameter, 500-feet-long) as an alternative to bin storage, an issue is what to do with these huge bags once the grain has been removed via a bag-extracting implement. One solution is the Plastic Grain Bag Roller, a device that, once one end of the bag has been attached, rolls it up (like a big round bale) for disposal at a landfill or recycle facility or to be reused next year. Depending on make/model, the device attaches to a skid steer or tractor loader arms, is a two-wheeled tow-behind, or mounts on a truck bed or trailer. All makes are hydraulically powered, provide a twine-wrap option, and release the baled roll.

Cost: $4,500-$8,000
