Battle of the bulk bags. Some firewood production and my thoughts on the different bulk bags I use

- I use two different bulk firewood bags to store firewood in for my use and for firewood sales. I've have cycled through both types and have some pros and cons on them.
If you get snow, you can keep it! We’re not interested here at KNL! 😂 will be interesting to see how well the bags hold up.
I've been ok with not having it as well. I will take snow over ice any day though. Ice is no bueno. Should be interesting to see how they hold up. AJ shaver has some videos of some that are three years old and still going, plus he dumps them multiple times a year.
Nice job Tim, you're a worker for sure!
Got a cord and some bundle wood finished that day. Was a good day
The Dino bags don’t need the loops going all the way to bottom. It wouldn’t make the bags any stronger. Shavers bags need that loop going all the way to the bottom IMO since you have two loops at each corner. Definitely makes flipping easier. But I have yet to rip the single loop on the Dino bags. If I start selling more bulk vs bundles I’ll go with the shavers just for the easier flipping. They are both great bags.
@Dirtpoorhomesteader i agree, both are better than totes or stacking for me. I do prefer the log lifts overall though. I use the Dino bags for my own personal wood.
Nice bag holder
Thanks Larry, I fabricated it myself. There are a few things I'll change on the next one, but it works pretty well.
Thanks for the video! What HP tractor is that in the video…I’m curious how much tractor it takes to carry a full Log-Lift bag.
It's a 50 HP tractor. The DK series comes in different variants with 40 to 57 HP, but they all have the same loader and lift capacity. The weight is similar to a tote stacked full of firewood, so I'm guessing 1200 to 1600 lbs. depending on the species of wood. Hope this answers your question.
@@timbervisions Thank you. The weight range is about where my Kubota 40HP tractor is at so I would probably not have much of a problem.
I'm glad to help. I've been enjoying the convenience of the log lift bags. Best of luck to you!
@@timbervisions Thank you!
Hi. One other question…what is the height from the top bars to the bottom bars (and width between bars) that the bags hang on? I would like to eventually buy the bag rack but for now will probably use a combination of wood and maybe Unistrut until I make sure this process is going to work for me. Thank you.
@steinbierz the height is adjustable, so it varies upon which bag style I'm using. Width I made mine to is 48 inches.
So your bundle Wood you don’t have any that has bark on it? Around here they do sometimes it just slabwood off a mill they’re not as picky or what they’re selling. How do you cover the top of your bag in the wintertime to keep the snow off the wood is it fine with the snow falling on it and it still drives well enough
@puddlejumper3534 That is correct, my bundle wood is totally barkless wood. I started doing that last year. It bundles easier, plus I charge a premium for it this way. I sell my slab wood off the mill as well, but sell that as heating wood or bulk wood for cheaper price. I don't cover the bags that are for next year because they'll go through a spring and summer anyway so really no point. If it's wood for the current year I try to keep any snow off them. Hasn't been an issue so far this year though luckily. My personal wood in bags at home I covered the tops with a tarp, leaving the sides open.
