Monday. This Sand Master machine costs $16,000 and attaches to any front loader bucket and with the assistance of two people it can make 4000 exact same size sand bags in 8 hours. The Rural Municipality of St. Clements was the first customer of this equipment in Canada. Twenty bags are attached into the unit and a scoop of sand is picked up filling the bags and the draw strings close the bags.
