Home-Built Loader-Mounted Bulk Bag Lifter
We came up with our own loader-mounted bulk bag lifter for lifting 1-ton mini bags. We use it mostly during the fall when we spread granular herbicides to control wild oats.

Home-Built Loader-Mounted Bulk Bag Lifter TRACTORS Loaders 25-2-36 We came up with our own loader-mounted bulk bag lifter for lifting 1-ton mini bags. We use it mostly during the fall when we spread granular herbicides to control wild oats. We use our loader tractor to pull a trailer loaded with 10 1-ton bags out to the field, then unhook the trailer and use the loader to load the bags into the applicator. It eliminates the need for a forklift. One little pin fastens it to bucket.
The bag lifter consists of two parts and fits inside the bucket. One piece is made from steel tubing and pins onto a bracket welded on top of the bucket. This piece sits on the bucket floor and has bracing on back. The other piece consists of a four-pronged steel hook with a loop on top. The straps attach to handles on the bag, while the loop fastens onto a hook welded onto the bucket-mounted piece. The bottom piece is made out of 3/4-in. steel rod so it'll never bend out of shape.
