Pretty cool machine and process. I went to an agricultural high school and they had a tree spade . Used to grow and sell Arborvitae to fund school projects and educate ofc . Cool vid , Patrick. Haven't seen this in years lol
Awesome piece of equipment. In my area, they charge about two thousand dollars per hole. I was on a removal job at a golf course once, they had two trees planted by the time we had a stump!
Our company has a 48” and 60” Tree Spade, helped move lots of trees but B and Bing is the worst… Clay soil is a very mineral rich soil, but because of the ionic bond the nutrients are locked up… if you add gypsum to the soil bond is broken… Most farm land is just a growing medium, you can grow plants in 3/4 crushed gravel if you supply all the plants needed like they do in Aquaponics…
What would that cost in relation to buying a western red cedar ( I assume that's what it is ) of that size? That's the only issue I see with this, nice toy and task if you have the luxury to be rich enough to move your trees.

Kids will remember that hole as six feet deep.... good memories.

Man, here in south Texas you can’t dig deeper than a few inches without hitting solid limestone 🥲
