DESCRIPTION
The Baumalight DR448 is engineered from the ground up for industrial-grade durability and long-lasting performance. Constructed from high-strength 5/16" T1 steel, it features four precisely-angled blades powered by robust hydraulic cylinders that deliver relentless digging power while maintaining blade position throughout operation.
With a 48" spade diameter, the DR448 is capable of relocating evergreens up to 6 inches and hardwoods up to 5 inches in trunk diameter ensuring it handles big jobs with confidence. The unique semi-truncated blade design penetrates dense soils with ease, forming root balls that promote healthy replanting and long-term growth.
From the non-slip step pads to the sleeved hydraulic hoses, every detail is designed for operator comfort and safety. And thanks to its universal skid steer compatibility, the DR448 is incredibly versatile and easy to integrate into your existing equipment fleet.
