Description
The Baumalight ST440 Tree Spade is a heavy-duty, professional-grade tree transplanting attachment engineered for contractors, landscapers, municipalities, and landowners looking to move mature trees with precision and minimal stress to the root system. Designed to mount easily on tractors, skid steers, wheel loaders, telehandlers, and backhoes, this versatile tree spade handles the toughest transplant jobs while protecting tree health.
With its dual-hinged frame arms and 4-blade semi-truncated design, the ST440 delivers clean root ball extractions up to 40 inches in diameter and 30 inches deep. Whether you're relocating evergreens up to 4 inches or hardwoods up to 3 inches in trunk diameter, this spade is your go-to solution.
