New Machine


Today marks the arrival of a new machine at the nursery-a tree spade. This machine is supposed to make short work of digging a tree. The principle is that four blades are lowered into the soil, around the root ball. Once the blades are fully extended, the hydraulics work to bring the tree, rootball and all, out of the hole and it can then be transplanted into another location.

Our mechanics did an excellent job of "jerry-rigging" the equipment on to a sky-trak..now we will see how well it performs...
