Mounting the Quick-Fill sandbagger into a 2" hitch allows for portability and stabilization. No power or other tools are needed to run the machine (other then sand of course).
I think it is a good device however I think you overlooked a couple points. You state "No need for a shovel, if you keep the hopper full you can fill hundreds of bags in an hour" yes but you failed to mention how to get the sand in the hopper. (With a Front End loader perhaps?) And mounts onto a 2" hitch? It wasn't until I watched it the second time that I noticed the second machine on the ground with legs which is a good idea as I wouldn't be operating it while attached to the vehicles tow hitch as a hopper full of sand would far exceed most (if not all) of the manufacturers downward force load ratings for the tow hitch. some tow hitches are rated as low as 80lb down force, (they may pull over well over 1,500 lb but pulling is different to down force.) Still top marks for portability. For laying 50-100 bags, hire one of these, put it on your pickup, get a ton of sand dropped in the back of your pickup. Drive to your location. Set the machine up on its legs, place it close to the pick up and stand in the back and shovel the sand straight into the hopper. perfect. For larger jobs hire a Bob Cat (or similar) to load the hopper. If you have a set of Tines that fit the BobCat, load 40-50 bags onto Pallets and and use the BobCat to move them closer to where you need them. That wall you built shown at the end of the video, would leak like a sieve. It would rate as one of the worst sand bagging jobs I have seen, the only correct thing is the overlap of the bags. What is not correct is the bags are over filled, the ends should NOT be tied closed, they have not been packed down properly, the tongues (or the openings) have not been laid flat with the next bag sitting on top of it. There is a lot ore to putting sand in a bag and sticking it on the ground. If you think I'm wrong, build a small (3 foot x 3 foot) square wall and fill it with water and see how well it holds the water.
I have an implement that fills 26 bags and ties them as well as allows you to move them to wherever your tractor or skid steer can go
From where i can buy given product...
I have a machine that fills 26 bags in one scoop and ties and allows you to move them together.
Do you have a website? This looks really good bud.
would like to know dose your machine need help to from the truck to work ?

does it bag damp sand too ?
It does! As long as you are continuing to fill the hopper and bag sand there is usually enough movement to keep sand moving.
