Product Description Transplanting trees used to mean digging by hand, wrestling root balls, and hoping you did not damage what you were trying to save. The Quick Attach Tree Spade does it from the seat of your skid steer — dig, lift, and transplant without ever leaving the cab. Three or four overlapping steel blades cut cleanly through roots and soil to form a tight, well-supported root ball — the overlapping design ensures no gaps in root coverage and no breakage during lifting. The short frame design reduces the need for stabilizers and counterweights, making the setup faster and the machine more maneuverable on tight job sites. Compatible with 5 to 25 GPM hydraulic flow at 2,500 PSI — everything comes fully assembled with hydraulic hoses, couplers, and controls ready to connect and work immediately. Available in two models — the 3S handles a 30-inch root ball and trees up to 2.5-inch hardwood and 3-inch evergreen. The 4S steps up to a 40-inch root ball and trees up to 3-inch hardwood and 4-inch evergreen for larger transplanting work. Ideal For: Nurseries, landscapers, golf course managers, arborists, farmers, and property owners who transplant trees regularly and need a skid steer tree spade that digs, lifts, and moves root balls cleanly without manual digging or damaging the tree.
