With options to control the blade and swing cylinder, and a durable powder coat finish for protection, this attachment is perfect for landscaping or nursery projects. It is ideal for residential and commercial use.

Choosing the right skid loader tree spade depends on factors like tree size, soil type, and your skid loader’s hydraulic capacity. Evaluate the tree spade's blade design and durability, ensuring it matches your landscaping needs.

Compact models are ideal for smaller trees, while larger spades handle more extensive root systems.
