Get Your Fix
Tractor loaders often have more lift capacity than skidsteers and in some cases give you greater flexibility in positioning, however because positioning around the tree to be moved is so critical and ground level visibility is limited on tractor loaders we recommend that using a tree spade on a loader is a two person job. Once the frame is positioned on the ground, the controls for the spades are located on the tree spade frame, so that the operator has the best possible visibility during the spading operations.
