While tooling around the YouTubes recently, I happened upon a random video titled “Sand Master” that showed what has to be one of the best product demos I’ve ever seen.
In it, a compact track loader pushes what looks like a large tray with an angled edge and several bags hanging from beneath, into a pile of sand and gravel. Loaded with dirt and rock, the CTL then backs away from the pile, lowers the tray a bit and all of a sudden drops 20 perfect sand bags, their drawstrings pulled tight just before they hit the ground.
As the title of the video suggests, the name of this ingenious attachment is the SandMaster. Made by Barrier Systems LLC, the attachment is available in a 20-bag model for skid steers and compact track loaders, and a 26-bag model for backhoes and wheel loaders.
