Four blades and dual-hinged outer frame arms immediately make the Baumalight PT440 tree spade stand out. The wide blade position gives the operator a comfortable and clear view of the spading action, which is incredibly important when transplanting evergreen trees and minimizing damage to the lower branches. To avoid any unnecessary damage or trauma to the tree, the dual tree hugger hinged frame arms allow the operator to take extra care while positioning the tree spade. The PT440’s spades are made of 1/4" high alloy steel that hardens with use for reliable digging and compacting performance.
The standard skid steer mount is a great way to move trees with the Nomad treespade,however to match the equipment
you have with the size of trees you need to move, Baumalight offers 3-point hitch type of mounting option.Down pressure, positioning and lifting of the spade is achieved by the integrated lift cylinders. The parallel lift linkage lifts the tree and spade out of the hole. These frames also have a tilt control that helps position the frame solidly on the ground and to help with weight positioning during transport. Controls are extended so that the operator controls the spading action from the tractor. For optimal results we recommend pairing the 3PH models with a loader tractor or front mounted counterweights for easier tree removal and stable transport.
