What Do We Need From You?

The checklists below, for both wagons and trucks, detail what our crews will need while at your farm. 

Truck Crews:

  • Tractor with 1000 RPM PTO and absolutely no less than 125 horsepower.  There can not be a dual on the right-hand side of the tractor.
  • Tractor with loader to assist with bagger backstop.
  • Two 10' 2"x4"'s for each bag.  Please let the bagger operator know before the beginning of the bag if you would rather use a Masterseal strip.
  • Hammer and nails to close the bag.

Wagon Crews:

  • Tractor with 540 RPM PTO and at least 90 horsepower.
  • At least 2 people with 540 RPM PTO tractors to haul in.  Tom's crew with the 6710 will definitely need 3 people.
  • Two 10' 2"x4"'s for each bag.  Please let the bagger operator know before the beginning of the bag if you would rather use a Masterseal strip.
  • Hammer and nails to close the bag.
