Tree Spades

We custom build the strongest tree spades in the nursery and landscaping industries! Our spades can be customized with a variety of angles, styles and attachments for skid steer, tractor, loader, excavator, backhoe and bobcat. Whether it is our most versatile 25 degree Semi-Truncated, 30 degree Full Cone, or 22 degree Truncated blade style, all Dutchman spades are built on the same simple principles: durability and simplicity.

They can be mounted on a variety of machines, from walk-behind mini skid steers, full-size skid steers and track loaders, up to large wheel loaders, and excavators. We also build heavy duty truck spades for digging and moving larger trees.

Skid Steer Tree Spade

Dutchman has tree spades for almost any nursery / landscaping job and machine. They range in size from 20-inch all the way up to 60-inch with inside and outside frame models available. From lightweight mini skid steer tree spades to large frame, high capacity skid steer tree spades, Dutchman has the right equipment to get the job done. Tree after tree, year after year, nothing digs like a Dutchman.

We offer the following blade styles for different root ball shape requirements...

Semi-Truncated (25°): The standard "universal" cut; ideal for general nursery work and offers the most versatility
Full Cone (30°): A deeper, pointed cut; best for taproot trees or rocky soil where penetration is difficult
Truncated (22°): Shallow, wide bottom; specifically for shallow-rooted trees and clay-based soil conditions

Semi-Truncated 25° Tree Spade

Available in all straight-blade sizes, the Semi-Truncated Tree Spade creates a rootball that is more narrow than a Truncated spade but still stands well on its own. Semi-Truncated spades are the most common type of tree spade due to their versatility; they can down-size a great deal when digging smaller…

Coned 30° Tree Spade

Available in 330 up to 600 models, the Coned Tree Spade is ideal for digging tap-rooted trees or in sandy soil. The spade is almost completely closed at the bottom, minimizing soil loss. Due to the pointed shape, however, the rootballs produced are less stable and balanced.
