Tree Spades

 

    All spades are designed with a very short frame reducing the need for stabilizers and counterweight by 15 to 20 hp in tractor or skid steer size. Sizing can be difficult to determine because any given spade will handle a much larger tree then what will survive.
Soil conditions and the amount of water available for the tree in the first two years are just as important as the spade size.
Sizes given on brochures are good if the customer will give some water, if special care is given you can increases the tree size by 1/3, and if no care is planned you should decrease the size by 1/3

Tree Auger
tree auger

  • Tree auger attachι to the standard drive models RC442 & RC556.

  • If you have bought some basketed trees a tree auger is an excellent tool to plant them.
  • You get a nice tapered hole with nice fine dirt for backfilling, the fine lose dirt will seal off the circumference well giving the tree much greater chance of survival
  • You can spread the remainder around and there is no need to hall any left-over dirt away
