Shop Now Optimal 900 Tree Spade Digs 28″-36″ Weight 1316 lbs Width 41″ The Optimal 900 is the upgraded version of our old Model 880. It has been in production for over 10 years and is a tried and proven work horse in the 28-36″ rootball range. Because of the compact size, load center, and weight of this machine, it can be run on a much smaller loader. Typically if you are operating one of our competitor’s 28-32″ spades, you can run the 900 on that same loader. This is a huge advantage if you need to step up to a 36″ size. Some of the other advantages are no grease fittings and its easily adjustable blades (15 minutes or less). Optimal 900 Features: • 4 blades for superior digging in hard soils • Dual gates – digs to right or left • Compact size for tight conditions • Superior speed • Optimal rootball – more roots/less soil = more trees per load • Reliability/German engineering and superior customer service Manual PDF Brochure Contact us for more information about this tree spade equipment!
