Multi trip or single trip seed bags

[grommet]

Can i be arsed to sort / clean / and hang up them up in the rafters OR just get the single trip ones and have new ones every time?
i know i am guilty of hooning down a bumpy field track with a bag on the tines, then blaming the bag for breaking...........
There is a environmental morality issue with throwing them away but then there is a safety aspect with re-using bags.
As with most things - bags arent what they used to be, only as good as the manufacturer makes them - our seed people have tried so many different makes to try and get good ones.

Makes me uneasy watching people trying to untie old seed bags - surprised there haven’t been more accidents.
Shouldn’t we be using fert type bags? No need to get under them to untie, just cut with a long knife and no temptation to reuse.

I didn't realise that they offered multi-trip bags on new seed.

99.9% of seed bags are single trip round here filling the drill is pretty quick

Quite so, and tonnes rather than 500kg.

although you can get 2 x 500 on the tines - fills the drill more evenly

Fair enough.

But having been on tonnes since 1978, I've always hated the introduction of 500/600kg fertilizer bags with a vengeance - unstable when stacked.
