    HOW IT WORKS:

    STEP 1

    Find the new location for your tree. Position the spade at a defined direction, say North. Engage blades and scoop your hole.

     

    How it Works Step 1

     

    STEP 2

    Align the spade with the tree in the same direction chosen for the hole—in this case, North.
    Open blade, move forward to position tree in the center of the dig area. Engage blades until they meet.

     

    How it Works Step 2

     

    STEP 3

    Lift the tree up and transport to the new hole. Note: In harder earth, the spades may cause glazing on the hole walls. Before the new tree is placed, this surface needs scuffing in order for the new roots to penetrate.

     

    How it Works Step 3

     

    STEP 4

    Align the shaft with the orientation of the new hole. Lower and position the tree Note: Trees become more tolerant of hot afternoon sun on one side. Changing their orientation can burn the foliage.

     

    How it Works Step 4

     

    HOW TO BUCKET:

    STEP 1

    Prepare root ball.

    Flatten root ball for stability. Retract the spades a little at a time in a circular motion, until approx. 6" of the root ball is exposed below spades. Using a shovel remove the excess and flatten the root ball.

    How it Works Step 1

     

    STEP 2

    Get basket ready.

    Place your burlap liner in the wire basket and place the basket on level ground.

    How it Works Step 2

     

    STEP 3

    Place in Basket

    Line up the root ball with basket and lower into place. Retract the spades fully, until root ball is resting in basket. Remove the tree spade leaving tree in basket.

    How it Works Step 3

     

    STEP 4

    Tie tree in place.

    Fold in burlap and basket and tie tree into place.

Top-Notch Service and Fitment Help
I wasn’t sure which mulcher would match up with my high-flow loader, but their team nailed it. I got a call from a fitment expert within an hour of ordering, and they walked me through every detail.

Heavy-Duty Quality – No Corners Cut
This isn’t cheap imported junk. You can tell the moment you unstrap it from the pallet. Welds are clean, steel is thick, and everything lined up perfect. It’s built for real work, not weekend projects.

Rick Courvoisier

Fast Shipping, Fair Price
I’ve ordered attachments before from other dealers and waited weeks. Skid Steer Store had mine out the door in 48 hours, and the pricing beat local suppliers by a mile. No BS, just solid gear delivered quick.

Made My Crew’s Job Easier
We run a small excavation outfit, and this auger attachment saved us a full day of labor on the first job. No leaks, no issues. Showed up crated and ready to go. Will be ordering again when we expand the fleet.

Real People Who Know Their Stuff

Shipped Right to the Yard – Hassle-Free
I was expecting a mess with freight delivery, but it was smooth as could be. Skid Steer Store coordinated everything and it landed at our yard gate before the next job started. Zero downtime. That’s how it should be.
