Product Description

Description
The DR444 tree spade is designed with a selection of high-quality components with a goal of a unit that is built to last. The spade itself is made from heavy-duty T1 steel, and the hydraulic system is designed to deliver consistent, reliable power for years to come. Each spade is operated by a powerful hydraulic cylinder, which helps to keep the spades in position when lifting the tree along with its root ball from the ground.
A features of the Baumalight DR444 is its compact design. Despite its capacity, the DR444 is designed to fit on a standard skid steer, making it easy to transport and use in a variety of settings. The spade measures 44 inches in diameter, making it ideal for trees up to 5 inches in diameter in soft woods and 4 inches in hardwood.
The blade thickness of the Dr444 tree spade is 5/16-inch T1, which is a type of high-strength steel known for its toughness and durability. This blade thickness ensures that the blade can cut through the soil and roots of the tree with ease, reducing the stress on the tree during transplantation.
Another key feature of the Baumalight DR444 Tree Spade is its ease of use. The spade is designed to be simple and straightforward, with intuitive controls that allow the operator to adjust the depth and angle of the spade to suit the task at hand. The spade is also equipped with a locking mechanism that keeps the tree securely in place during transport.
Whether you're a professional landscaper, a tree nursery owner, or a DIY enthusiast, the Baumalight DR444 Tree Spade is an excellent choice for all your tree-moving needs. With its powerful hydraulics, compact design, and intuitive controls, this tree spade is the perfect tool for getting the job done quickly and efficiently.
