2023 Bobcat® Tree Spade Convertible Cone, 36"

The rugged, dependable tree spade attachment turns your Bobcat® loader into a tree transplanting unit — and lets you speed production and cut labor costs at the same time! The tree spade is simple to operate and easy to maneuver. A tree can be dug, transplanted, or placed in a basket without the operator ever having to leave the Bobcat® loader. With compact, short tower designs that squeeze between closely planted trees, the Bobcat® tree spade is designed for efficiency and economical operations sure to get the job done right.

The tree spades are available in five sizes; 24, 28, 32, 36, or 44 inches. Bobcat® Company consulted with key tree industry suppliers to ensure that these sizes would fit standard industry baskets. All sizes are available in truncated, modified and cone blade configurations, except the 44 inch tree spade, which is available in the modified and cone blade configurations. These choices give contractors the ability to select the right tree spade attachment for their machine and application.

Bobcat® offers two valve options for the tree spade attachments, seven-pin Attachment Control Device (ACD) or convertible valve. The seven-pin ACD valve allows the operator to perform the functions of the tree spade by using fingertip control on the steering levers of the Bobcat®. The convertible valve option makes it possible to operate the tree spade with the use of the fingertip control on the steering levers or by using a pendant control box. The versatility of the convertible valve allows the tree spade to be operated on other brands of skid steer loaders as well as Bobcat® loaders or if the customer has a preference to use this style of control.
