What happens here

Travel to a tree nursery, such as Gertens, known for its wide selection of large trees (often referred to as 'Biggins' due to their substantial root balls, which are balled and burlapped). Work with nursery staff (e.g., Juan using a Kubota SSV75 skid steer with a tree spade or fork attachment) to identify and select the desired tree specimens. The skid steer is then used to carefully lift the heavy balled and burlapped trees and load them into the bed of the truck, taking care not to damage the tree or the truck.

Goal: Select and load large balled and burlapped trees onto the truck.

Tools and materials

  • Heavy-Duty Pick-up Truck Ram 2500 — Transporting trees from the nursery
  • Kubota Skid Steer — Lifting and moving large trees
  • Tape Measure — Measuring tree height/girth for selection
  • Tree Spade/Fork Attachment KSR — Securely handling balled and burlapped trees
  • Large Trees — Landscaping additions
