Tree Spades from 12" to 118"

For thirty years we have been in the tree transplanting business. When we started building our own machinery, it was out of sheer frustration over inadequate equipment. In '71 our first mechanical tree spade was put in operation, fittingly it dug a 71" rootball. It was a success, and more machines followed. Three years later the construction of the first OPTIMAL 2500 (98") was completed, and in 1981 the OPTIMAL 3000 (118") began work. Meanwhile frustration had given way to total commitment to the development and production of top quality tree spades. Today hundreds of clients confirm that we are on the right track. This unusual success has the most plausible explanation: we always remained tree movers. Like you, we are not easily satisfied with our equipment. It is hardly surprising that our machines provide features which you will not find with other tree spades.

"We initially had concerns about the OPTIMAL [850] spade digging properly on our small loader but all such fears have been dispelled. Our experience has been that the OPTIMAL does a great job; it digs 33" root balls under tough conditions and up to 35" root balls under good conditions. Our digging crews prefer to use the OPTIMAL spade even when we are digging 2.5" trees on which we could use our 30" Caretree spade. It simply cuts through the roots better and is easier to operate. The compact size also allows us to dig trees in tighter spots without injury to adjacent trees, and in our heavy soils the OPTIMAL digs very effectively.      Without doubt, we are extremely satisfied with our OPTIMAL Spade.
