Anyone care to share any ingenious ideas / designs for achieving the above? Could buy a narrow bucket for ~ £700 but the capacity is small necessitating lots of scoops or could buy a bag / hopper filling bucket but inevitably expensive ~ £3,000?? Any simple / safe / reliable designs for adapting what we've got would be very welcome! Thanks

Empty the bag into a 1.5T tote bin or a cone tank and then fill the drill via the slide on the bottom of the bin.
