I did some quick searches and they are CA CHING CA CHING Expensive...... What were you looking to do with them. We might be able to come up with an alternative.

Used supersacks cost me $3 apiece a few years back. Each sack held a ton of anthracite pea. I used them until I built my coal bin.

Larry, that is a great price on the Supersacs. ebay?

Folding plastic bulk bins can be had for about $100 on ebay (built on plastic pallet), but you either need to be able to pick them up or foot the bill for freight.

A foundry in Fort Wayne Indiana was selling them off. Foundry sand was their original contents.

Do you store these outside? Seems like it could be one of the cheapest ways to store a TT load if you have the means to move them around.

when done fold down and store out side. best deal is man on ebay 110 delivered per tote, quick math 2.5 sheet of ply wood, couple of 2 x 6"s ripped down and screws would cost about 90 [using pallet for base]. take the 660 and put it towards a bin??

I bought some of these at $4 each last year. they did not work for me as the throat needs to accept the 4' bucket on the skid steer. In the end I need to get them into Homer buckets for my application so I gave up.
