Watch A Mini Excavator Pick Up This Whole Tree
What happens here
Using a Kubota mini excavator, the operator carefully maneuvers the machine to position its arm and bucket underneath the large tree's root ball. With precision, the tree is lifted from the ground, ensuring the integrity of the root system. The excavator then pivots and tracks towards a waiting flatbed trailer, aligning the tree to be gently lowered onto the trailer's bed. This process demonstrates efficient handling of heavy landscaping elements with specialized equipment.
Goal: Lift a large tree with its root ball and place it onto a trailer.
