AGGING
S
URFACE
Bag uphill rather than downhill. Avoid bagging on a side hill. The
Ag-Bagger
®
can drift and bags may roll.
Surface conditions may affect bagging quality and ability. Soft ground
conditions will act as a brake and may cause the Ag-Bagger
®
to
sink. A hard clean and level surface is best to bag on. By clearing
the area rodent problems can be eliminated.

Consider the surface conditions during the seasons when product
will be removed from the bags. If you expect a lot of mud, you may
want to put some bags on a solid surface. Have enough accessible
bags to last until good weather conditions can be expected.
