What happens here

For large trees, use a delivery truck to bring them onto the property. Employ the Bobcat Mini Track Loader, fitted with appropriate forks or a tree-lifting attachment, to carefully lift each large tree from the truck. The root ball of the tree should be securely wrapped in burlap. Gently maneuver the tree into its designated pre-dug hole or position it precisely at its planting site, ensuring it is plumb and oriented correctly.

Goal: Safely and precisely place large trees from the delivery truck into their final planting positions.
