A tree spade is a specialized machine that automates the transplanting of large plants. Tree spade for digging is used to replant or remove trees where a tree can be transplanted or balled for easy and quick transport. The overlapping blades in these spades ensures a clean root cutting. The compact, short tower design of tree spades helps to easily squeeze between closely planted trees. These tools are capable of handling the bumps and bruises of a compact work environment. The tree spade are ideal for variety of soil conditions which helps to maximize the worksite capabilities. Vehicle mounted tree spade systems are capable of excavating large and heavy plants and transporting them. It also helps to maximize the diameter of the root ball of the digging tree. This weight transfer is very useful when the condition of the soil is difficult.

Tree spade paired with a compact-track, skid-steer, and steer loader are often used for digging, transporting and transplanting trees. There is no better tool than a tree spade to perform these tasks. Tree spades can accomplish all the tasks such as minimizing manual labor by allowing the loader operator to dig, transplant and package trees. Using a tree spade on compact loaders, digging and moving trees becomes an easy and increasingly efficient task. These tools are easy to navigate in compact work areas such as nurseries or while moving trees on residential and commercial properties. However, prior to operating a compact loader with a tree spade, the machine must be adequately equipped to carry and use the attachment.
