Abstract: A bale bag support device, system and method that provides for placement of a bale into a bale bag by maintaining a bale bag in an opened configuration employing a bale bag support device that includes a frame adapted for advancing motion, a bag support and a bale threshold attached to the frame that define a bale aperture through which bales may be placed onto a bale receiving area located on an inner surface of the bale bag beyond the bale threshold. The bale bagging system also includes a pick and place device for placing bales into the opened bale bag and which may also be employed to advance the bale bag support device a distance sufficient to create a bale receiving area located inside the bale bag beyond the bale threshold.
