A unique packing system as provided which includes a low profile packer panel which operates in a low profile charging material receiving hopper which also features lowered or dropped floor to facilitate optional manual loading.

A packer-ejector assist panel is provided to assist in clearing material from the dropped area portion of the charging hopper.
