Dumpster bags

[Tree09]

Has anyone tried one of these? Basically a tarp dumpster, complete with straps for moving/ lifting with a machine. Some are priced for the garbage company to come pick up, but i was thinking of reusing them type stuff, such as rakings. Thoughts?

Simply put, they’re fantastic. I first started using them with my crane, still use them for raking and the occasional stump cleanup.

I have one of these....it works better with the Gehl.

Carl and I both bought some of these, which is basically the same thing as what you posted. Not sure if they’re the same size.

They work well, assuming you have the means to lift them. The Gehl can’t lift them high enough to go over the sides of the dump trailer, so I have to drive up the ramps to load. Carl’s excavator has no problem.

And he beat me to it! Was plumb cool to rake one full of raking and see that knuckle boom reach over the house to pick it out of the back yard...

K I'm gonna get a couple then. I need to do some spring cleaning, and i was planning on using them for trees when i get there again. Thx guys.

Yup. We use the big green ones and we also have a few white ones that are about 1/3 the size of the green ones. They're great for hauling leaves and rakings from back yards with the Avant.

Bagsters are good.
Hydraulics make them great.
They are easy to load heavy for hand dragging with anything other than small pruning work.

I use Bagsters all the time damn near every job. I get about 15 jobs before they are church bagsters. You know nice and holey. I haul rakings to the burn pile or a stump clean up mostly. One job was a rotten pile of firewood.

I remember a thread where Willy was talking about Monsta Bags. The bags have a rip cord on the bottom for unloading while it's hanging but $$ if I remember right.

Gotta love ash tree raking

 

[flushcut]

LOL NO! But they're are pretty much all gone around here.

Almost as bad as the American elms back in the day.

 

[flushcut]

We still have elms and big ones but yes they can make a helluva mess.

 

[Bermy]

Ohhhh maaate!!! The big ass elms in my village are starting to turn...it will be LEAFMAGEDDON before very long!
The sucky truck will be out, the leaf blowers will whine, the backyard compost makers will be raking, the arborphobia apologists with be whinging....
I love it, I get to kick piles of leaves, something I was deprived of in my childhood in the tropics

 

[flushcut]

Yeah childhood in the tropics, must have been terrible.

 

[Bermy]

Got me

Finally saw a company I sub for using the bagster to haul stump chips with a mini last year. Very impressive. I bought one but haven't use it yet

Good reminder on the bagster.
I got out of the habit. I bet it could fold up and travel in the closed BMG.
My pickup is already so full of equipment, that might save space.

I keep a short piece of accessory cord tied to each tarp on a grommet and Bagster handle.

When folded for storage, I can have the tarp/bagster tied up tight with the cords, if I'm not using the tarp or Bagster for padding between saws.

During use, I'll double/ quadruple over the cord and daisy chain it, keeping the cord out of the way.

what are you guys doing for pickup? have waste management come pick them up? I checked and its $150 for my area

can you take them to the landfill and unload with your mini?

 

[SeanKroll]

Just a tool to use onsite.

load it, drag to chipper?

 

[Tree09]

I wouldn't drag them. It's basically a huge garbage can to put rakings in and then move with a mini, grapple loader, etc. A dumpster if you will lol.

See post #10 I take that to my burn pile.
