Big John Loader Mounted Tree Transplanters
Big John Tree Transplanters have an edge over all competition. Their curved track, curved blade design allows nurserymen to dig in
confined nursery conditions without damaging adjacent stock. The curved design enables the operator to produce a perfect nurseryman's rootball in seconds.
There are five models available: models 42,52, 62, 80, and 90. All models can dig downsized (smaller) to dig a variety of root ball sizes.
All Big John Tree Transplanters have the same design differing only in size. This time proven design (inside frame with curved blades) provides durable construction for digging in all types of soil conditions. This design also keeps the frame on the ground while digging - a feature not found on other machines.
Wire baskets are available from a number of suppliers for use in production digging. The loader mount models can be easily mounted on both rubber tired or crawler style machines. The
Model 42 can be mounted on a skid steer loaders giving it even greater maneuverability for use in the field.
