Materials bagger and system

A system for bagging large quantities of loose material such as grain and materials to be composted whereby a large bag containing such material is filled at and stored in the field, said system comprising:

• a mobile bagging machine including a tunnel having an opening there through and a forward and rearward end, a materials holding channel permanently mounted to and extending forwardly of the tunnel, said channel having an open top receiving sequential loads of loose material to be bagged, and a piston having a solid rear face sized ad configured to closely fit the channel and the forward end of said tunnel, said piston mounted for reciprocating movement between a retracted position forward of the material deposited in the channel and through the channel into the forward end of the tunnel for movement of the material from the channel into the tunnel;
• a bag having an end opening and mounted on and surrounding the rearward end of the tunnel and closing the rear opening, said bag provided on said tunnel in a folded condition and upon receiving the material forced through the tunnel and into the bag by the piston, said machine being advanced as the bag is filled, the bag accordingly being deployed off the tunnel;
• said tunnel, channel, piston and bag functioning as an integral on site unit and it cooperation with hauling units hauling multiple loads of the material to the site, said channel sequentially receiving said multiple loads and said reciprocating piston in a plurality of reciprocating movements, sequentially moving said loads through the channel and tunnel for deposit into said bag;
• controls controlling said sequential movement of the piston and for selectively positioning the piston in the tunnel entry as desired for holding the material in the bag between loads;
• a conduit extended from the exterior of the machine into and through the tunnel and into the bag, and a length of pipe mounted on the machine for feeding of the pipe through the conduit and into the material being bagged;
• and
• said conduit connectable to a media source with said piston closing the tunnel front and opening with the bag in a partially filled condition for circulating media from the media source into the material in the bag between loads.
