Bump.
Got seed delivery this morning and thinking along the same lines.
Been advertising in FW for a couple of years now so must be some out there?

well built but we struggle with 4 bags as the cross bar at the back seams to short and digs into the bags so we only use it for 2. The cross bar should be longer i think i keep meaning to speak to the guy but i always forget till next time. Would be good to know if anyone has the same issues with 4x600kg bags. For potato seed in 1.25t bags or extra height for the drill its fantastic and we dont seam to get so many problems with loops cutting on the bags compared to forks

Thanks. I keep meaning to see about getting one but always forget until next time urea or seed comes two high on a curtainsider;)

Was checking out weavings one earlier on and say they have new improved design for 2022. Not sure if the cross bar on theirs is the improved bit but notice that it is a good bit wider than the concept one.

Had no problems with 4 600kg bags, other than loader a bit light on backend
But cannot carry 4 seed bags

We’ve a strimech one which we use for 600kg fert bags and also for seed spud sacks, in hindsight the hydraulic version would be of great benefit as the hoops on the seed bags tend to be quite abit narrower than 4 fert bags!

Any Bag lifter are a bit off kit that seam like a luxury buy as you always got a way with pallet forks but once you have a bag lifter you feel it’s is so much handier and most importantly far safer as less sharp edges, I would not be without mine lifter even for the 6ton off fertiliser and 5 tones off seed I use a year

Big bag lifter does the job and is very competitively priced. Most helpful on the phone prior to ordering.

On the downside in my experience their painting ( JCB yellow) is amateurish to say the least, and there are two lots of welding styles, one perhaps not too good but the other very professional. On balance I am fairly pleased with it and would probably buy other products from them, but maybe I would need to tell them of the bad points beforehand.

Concept are good to deal with and essentially a well made and competitively priced product, but IMO they need to sharpen up on their paintwork to fully project a more professional image.
