Hey Kap when you want to get a really good bite into the earth turn the tracks around so the blade is in the rear, this will allow the blade to now stop the cab from tipping back when you push into the earth.
Make sure you keep that tree well watered daily, I planted 2) 20' maples last year and the nursery was adamant that they be watered. Fertilizing is not necessary in the first year they said. Looks great. I hope to be doing much of the same things you are, just bought 41 acres up here in NH.
Awesome man! congrats on the Acreage!!!! I'm hoping that I got most all of the roots so they won't shock bad... And that ground is moist over there due to pond saturation. We'll see how they do!
Something like this I would have used pallet forks. I dig my transplant hole first with the backhoe, then loosen the root ball a bit and curl. I get the whole tree out beautifully with plenty of dirt on the ball. Biggest trees I've successfully done were 20'high x 25' spread mature native dogwood. That large though I'll strap the trunk to the fork frame because they're quite top heavy. Maple saplings should be a breeze with your Kioti.
I'd say it depends on how they have the root ball and your operating skills. If it is burlap, I'd think you'd be fine with the bucket and thumb. Best of luck!
I live in Missouri and will be trying to transplant some cedar trees from the pasture to along a fence line that boarders a road. I plan to rent a skid steer with a spade for this project as I do not own a spade. My question is how large of spade do I need to successfully transplant various sizes of cedars ranging from approx 5ft to 12ft tall? These tees are not large in diameter at the base but I am concerned with having enough root ball so I don't kill the trees. I have read many different articles and seems everyone has their own opinion. I would love some feedback from you or others that have successfully transplanted trees. Thanks!
Nurseries fail to do an important and simple thing to avoid losing trees to shock. They fail to flag the south side of the tree before they dig it up. If you flag the south side of the tree before you dig it up and are careful to keep that orientation when you plant it you will suffer a lot fewer deaths due to shock. ..
@@robert5521 umm ..might have something to do with the sun. Now if you live in the southern hemisphere.. you still want to flag a side, any side, and make sure you plant it in the same compass orientation. That way the side which has known and expected the sun will still have it. Rooted plants are normally never required to change orientation their whole lives. How can we expect them to easily adapt to it? Radically change the orientation of their light source all the while uprooting them is an additional shock which is totally avoidable with a little thoughtfulness and consideration. ..
If I remember correct I think one survived and one did not. Although we should have protected it because the bucks were rubbing them also. I'm confident though if we only planted them once they would have both survived but we ended up having to pull them back up and planting them a second time. Thanks
I still have it. But I wouldn't have got a big enough root ball with the spade. That's why I used the excavator with the 36" bucket. The spade sometimes lifts up on me, and the root ball might have been too small for a nice size maple like this to survive.
Yes they did, but they are still struggling a bit. But I think if we hadn't moved them twice in a short time, they would have taken better, but I think they'll make it. Good luck.
My bro and I are debating a tree spade or one of these - we could obviously use this for a lot more projects than just trees - has anyone transplanted with tree spade and one of these/ any advice?
I also have a tree spade, and it is nice for transplanting trees. You just need the right size to handle the size's of trees that you want to move. A mini ex has 1,000 other uses though! Good luck
Well, we moved them 2 times, which set them back. Also the bucks rubbed them hard here as we forgot to wrap them. But otherwise they would have survived just fine. They made it 2 years, but the buck rubbing off the bark was just too much. Good luck, thank you
nice maple hope it survives; I was wondering I am subscribed to your channel, but I do not get notifications as to your new videos like the other channels I am subscribed to; the little bell top right hand side of page on youtube lets me know when my favourite channels post new videos?
Go to my channel and you can hit the bell 3 times. Once will turn subscription OFF, another will turn subscription ON, and when you see lines around the bell you will be notified of ALL videos. It will also give you text info each time you hit the bell. Good luck, and thanks

We spoke a few years ago and now the Lord has us doing similar things. God bless and S/F🇺🇸
Hope you gave them a good drink of water. They need it after being moved. Lake will be something special. Good Luck, Vinny
Thanks man :)

I'll have to try that Tony, thanks. I know I tried it digging up trees for removal, but don't remember how it worked! LOL

can you use the same clamp method using thumb and bucket on new trees from nursery? Or should you use staps
I'd say it depends on how they have the root ball and your operating skills. If it is burlap, I'd think you'd be fine with the bucket and thumb. Best of luck!
I would always use straps. The key to trans. Planting B&B plant successfully is keeping the root ball intact.

I've got a long way to go to be 'master' for sure! Maybe Padawan still for now :)

Wow, never thought of that!! But makes perfect sense! Thank you!
Wow…really? What is important about the tree’s south side?

hows it doing 5 years later?

Where is the tree spade
i was gonna ask that too, but figured he was just haven't too much fun with his bobcat.
I still have it. But I wouldn't have got a big enough root ball with the spade. That's why I used the excavator with the 36" bucket. The spade sometimes lifts up on me, and the root ball might have been too small for a nice size maple like this to survive.
Good work, You have come a long way with that ex.
Thanks Bob, its been a fun ride so far learning it. :)
Did the trees survive the transplant? I'm looking to transplant a similar sized Honey Locust in the next month or so while the tree is still dormant.
Yes they did, but they are still struggling a bit. But I think if we hadn't moved them twice in a short time, they would have taken better, but I think they'll make it. Good luck.
Honey Locust?!? I’m wondering why in the world anyone would do anything but burn or cut those trees. They are the devil! 😬😂
@@kapperoutdoors I read they should be moved after the leaves fall. So your trees might have recovered better if it was fall??
Why not use your tree mover on the kioti? and is that big field behind your pond part of your property? thx
I did not think it would get a big enough root ball. Hardwoods need a bigger spade as they die easier than conifers.
Thanks for sharing. Did trees survive?
I know one did for sure, I'll have to check on the other one. Not good to move them back to back like we did, but sometimes plans change. Thanks.

Hello from U.K., three years on did these trees survive please, as we’ve got 10 to move in the same way? Thanks.
Well, we moved them 2 times, which set them back. Also the bucks rubbed them hard here as we forgot to wrap them. But otherwise they would have survived just fine. They made it 2 years, but the buck rubbing off the bark was just too much. Good luck, thank you
Nailed it
Dang Kapper you made it look easy!👍
Is there anything you can't do with your trusty escavator?
OH, I'm sure I will find out at some point...:)
Kapper Outdoors Lol!👍
ahh-so the wait begins as to when u clean ur big pond out-eh!????
LOL... I might have to have a count down or something!! They moved another BIG dirt mover in yesterday and a diesel tank... Could be any day now...
Great skills - but not the way to do it! Let us know in 30 days if it lived!
I will let you know... I think they will survive as the whole root ball from last year came up with them, but we'll see!
@@kapperoutdoors Well, did they survive?
@@bigbasslakeKaten Yes the sure did! Growing nicely now! Thanks
What is the way to do it? Thanks

thanks Mr Kapper I was able to hashmark all my favourites
Great, thanks! Maybe share some vids if you enjoy them! I think I need to just get out more for my channel to grow..
when you learn how too use that bobcat you'll be dangerous if you that good now love all your VEIDO'S love your little piece of Heaven
Thanks man, I appreciate it.
NICELY DONE!!!!
Thanks Mike!
