As the title states. We have the bag pulling from the outside, but I read the instructions that came from the bag(up north) and as far as I can understand the want the bag unfolding from the inside, from the inside out. SO which is it. I have included a pic of how I have ours loaded now, is this right, or do we have it on backwards. I know this way will work as I have done it before, but what way is proper.

Mattas i know the feeling. We had a near full bag split right up the middle when we were unloading the second semi full. So had to shovel up 180t of wheat. did have a bit of help from a loader but was still a bloody lot of shovling. What are some of the better brands of bags that guys have seen around? Or better yet what are the brands to stay away from? I think it was a "silvertube" that we had split.

Want it to pull from the outside, that way it seals the grain from leaking out the front corner of the bagger. We used 2 up north bags, and will never use them ever again. They stretched poorly, came off the bagger poorly, and had itty bitty tears the whole way along the bag. This year we bought some Ipesa bags and Grain Flex. The Ipesa worked the best. Grain Flex were ok, couple small tears, but didn't flow off the bag as smooth. Every bagger works with different bags though. We will be buying Ipesa from now on, nothing else. And we have a 2011 Brandt grain bagger.

Hey guys, I have a renn bagger, we always pull from the outside but the reason is is that renn has a ratchet strap the bag has to pass through that u tighten up around the hood to keep the grain and the bag coil seperated...i dunno it seems to always work? Really like the renn

As far as bags go i find the grain flex or flex stor..(same bag different labels i think) r thin, had a couple split. The ipessio r really good i thought, liked them alot but they dont make a 10x400 that i know of? How do u like that brandt bagger burdizzo? Ive got a 2011 brandt extractor and love it. I had an arkon first then went to a renn(the one with the swingable auger) which was an over engineered peice of s**t then to the renn farm boy which was worse then to this brandt...what a great machine! Never really looked at the bagger tho

I used it the way I had originally put the bag on in the picture. Worked great other than the marker for when to quit filling the bag was at the wrong end, even had the bungy cord fairly loose. I hate to try it the other way as a bag that doesn't unfold properly can be a big pain in the arse when extracting.

Thanks to the wind decimating my barley and oats as well as the canola it ended up that I wouldn't have had to fill it anyways. I plan on putting the bagged grain in the bins next week sometime. Much better now than when it is minus 30 on a windy January day.
