Tree Spade Attachment

Tree Spade Attachment
Dig and Transplant
Trees in Minutes!
Bobcat® tree spade attachments
are available with fingertip
control for G-series and newer
loaders or with a convertible
valve. Convertible valve tree
spades allow operation with
either fingertip control on
Bobcat loader steering levers
or operation by pendant control
which can be installed on all
approved loader series.
Convertible valve
Fingertip control
Open frame design
Easy-access step
The open frame design with
a hydraulically operated gate
allows easy access to the
loader, excellent visibility
to the tree and does not require
the operator to leave the loader
to open and close the gate.
Adjustable legs allow for digging
five different root-ball sizes with
one tree spade.
Overlapping blades ensure clean root
cutting and support of the root ball.
Great visibility
The clean, compact design allows
operators to position the Bobcat tree
spade attachment in confined areas
without damaging nearby trees.
The Bobcat Tree Spade is perfect for use in
the following market applications —
Nurseries • Landscaping • Golf Courses • Construction • Farming • Municipalities
Parks and Recreation • Rental Yards • Christmas Tree Growers • DNRs
The rugged, dependable tree spade
attachment turns your Bobcat loader
into a transplanting unit — and lets
you speed production and cut labor
costs at the same time!
The tree spade is simple to operate
and easy to maneuver, with pushbutton fingertip control integrated
into the loader handles. A tree can
be dug, transplanted or packaged
without the operator having to
leave the loader.
With compact, short tower designs
that squeeze between closely planted
trees, and a rugged reinforced frame
built to handle the bumps and bruises,
the Bobcat tree spade is designed for
efficiency and economical operation.
Available in several styles and sizes,
the tree spade has been thoroughly
tested in a variety of soil conditions
to handle your specific needs.
Blades produce a round ball to fill baskets and reduce
basket crimping.
Rear stabilizers are required when using the tree spade
on approved Bobcat loaders. Stabilizers transfer the
weight to the tree spade for maximum digging. This
allows the operator to dig in tough soil.
