Someone at the feed mill told me that it was due to insurance as tomany JOB related injurys from lifting 100#ers .We use get our soya meal in them . Now we get fifty pounders in paper bags that slid all over the bed . so now twice as much trash to dispose of and twice the work and twice as long dumping them in the grinder . More fuel being used . The only thing i can say about it is yes i can handle the bags easier since i have lost a lot of my strength from when i got sick a couple years ago . There is nomore grabbing a head for a 400 series engine off the bench and setting on the block in a tractor anymore by myself as i can't even get a gasser head up over the guide studs by myself any more . And oh them 100 lber ft. weights , ah nomore one handed off the ground and on the weight rack either , can't even do the 75 pounder that way. sucks to get old a feeble .
