Grain Bag Loader Set-up Instructions

Site Preparation
Lightly scrape the ground, removing weeds, sticks,
stones and stubble that could penetrate the grain bag
from the entire grain bag storage site. When removing
debris from the site, be careful not to loosen the ground.
The grain bag storage site should remain as firm as
possible and free from debris to minimize grain bag
damage. Chemical can be sprayed on the site to control
weeds and grasses reducing nesting habitat for rodents.
NOTE:
Maximum grade should be limited to grades less
than 5%.
Grain Bag Placement
The grain bags should be positioned North - South on the
storage site. This will allow the grain bags to be exposed
to the sun evenly.
NOTE:
If the grain bags are positioned East - West, the
South side of the grain bags will be exposed to
the sun the entire day and may lead to
overstretching and damage to the grain bags.
Start the grain bag on the lowest elevation of the storage
site. This will aid in the loading of the grain bag and also
assist in preventing any moisture from entering the bag
both at the starting end and at the finishing end.
NOTE:
It is NOT recommended to position the grain
bags across a slope. This places added stress
on one side of the grain bag and may cause the
bag to overstretch. It also prevents water from
shedding away from and / or running along the
length of the grain bag.
Grain Bag Spacing
Side By Side
When storing grain bags side by side, space the grain
bags a minimum of 18 ft. (5.48 m) apart. This will allow
adequate space for the unloading equipment and trucks
to travel between the bags during the unloading process.
In The Field
When storing grain bags in the field, position the grain
bags in a line. This will help prevent animals (rodents and
other pests) from using the bags as a shelter from the
weather and from natural predators.
NOTE:
Maintain adequate space (20-26 ft. (6.09-7.92 m)
is recommended) between the grain bags for the
unloading equipment and transport vehicles to
travel between the bags.
WARNING:
Do Not place grain bags near or
under power lines.
