Planting trees

[Nick87]

I've successfully dipped a hole with backhoe bucket, then scooped a tree with the backhoe bucket, carried it over to the hole, then place in hole with the backhoe bucket.
Easy way to transplant good trees growing elsewhere on your property and locate them where you want.

Pretty much how it'll go.

I’ve had great success with maples 3-4 feet tall. Had a nursery move and plant one 10-12ft tall. They somehow damaged the tree just above the rootball while unloading from the trailer. Died within a few days of planting. Since then I’ve stuck to small trees of various sorts and had no issues. I won’t buy another big tree to plant.
