Dakota Hand, Tree Transplanter
 ✖  |
We're farmers near Garrison, N. Dak., and we'd like to tell FARM SHOW readers about our revolutionary new "Dakota Hand" tree transplanter for use behind an AN, garden tractor, or mounted on a front-end loader. It'll dig out and transplant any tree with up to a 2-in. trunk. The "cradle", which supports the tree spades, can be positioned hydraulically at any height above ground level which allows you to vary the rootball size thus accommodating different sized trees. The largest rootball possible is 28 in. dia. and 22 in. deep. You simply position the cradle and spades around the trunk of the tree and use a hand-held jack hammer to drive the spades into the ground. Once the spades are driven in, hydraulics lift and transplant the tree. To plant the tree, you pull a pin which splits the cradle in two, taking pressure off the spades and allowing you to pull them up out of the way. We developed the machine for use in moving trees on our own farm and it worked so well we started manufacturing it. This first-of-its-kind machine sells for $3,300 for 3-pt. or loader mount. A towable unit sells for $4,000.
