Performance Introduction
The Sibom skid steer tree spade turns any universal-mount loader into a professional tree transplanter that slips effortlessly between closely planted rows or narrow fairway paths. A short-tower, open-frame tree spade design keeps the operator’s sight line clear to the trunk flare, while overlapping HARDOX-steel cutters form a smooth, conical root ball that preserves soil structure and minimizes shock. Whether you run a nursery, golf course, orchard, or municipal park, this hydraulic tree spade delivers the digging speed and transplant success pros demand.
Built for versatility and root protection
Adjustable legs set five distinct diameters, letting the skid steer 4-blade tree spade harvest saplings, ornamentals, or Christmas trees without swapping tools. Choose cone-shaped or V-shaped blades to match local soil and root architecture; both options use abrasion-resistant HARDOX 450 for long life in sandy, rocky, or clay ground. Front gates swing open for easy trunk access, close to stabilize the stem, and rear stabilizers shift weight to the ground before the cutters drive home—resulting in a clean, secure root ball tree spade ready for burlap or wire basket.
Operator-friendly, seat-controlled performance
Fingertip joystick controls handle every function—gate clamp, leg adjust, pressure set, and blade drive—so you never leave the cab. The compact footprint tree spade navigates tight sites on skid loaders, track loaders, and mini wheel loaders, while an optional limit block tunes cylinder stroke for smaller carriers. Flat-face couplers and a quick-attach plate transform hookup into a one-minute task, making this attachment perfect for rental fleets and contractors who need a high-mobility tree spade on demand.
Heavy-duty construction, low-maintenance ownership
A reinforced frame, high-pressure hoses, and sealed bushings create a durable tree spade built for commercial duty. Routine service is limited to a few grease points, keeping downtime low and ROI high for landscape crews, arborists, and public-works departments alike. From root pruning tree spade tasks in crowded beds to high-volume digs in open nurseries, the Sibom Short-Tower delivers the high-efficiency tree spade advantage: less labor, faster moves, and healthier transplants every season.
