Quick Attach Mount Hydraulic Powered Tree Spades

Five models of quick attach mount hydraulic powered tree spades are available for various sizes of small Trees. All models quick attach mount to various sizes of skid steer loader as shown. A three point hitch adapter is also available to adapt 3 of the models for tractor three point hitch mounting.

Model ST324 is available for removing maple trees of 1 1/2 inches in diameter and evergreens of 2 inches in diameter and with a 24 inch diameter root ball, models to remove maple trees 2 1/2 inch diameter and evergreen 3 inches in diameter with a 30 inch diameter root ball, and the 440 models which allow you to remove a 3 inch maple or 4 inch diameter evergreen with a 40 inch diameter root ball. Tractor and skid steer loader required/recommended horsepower ranges are 40 to 300 depending upon the model of tree spade. The models ST324 and ST330 have 3 hydraulic powered spades that are on fixed positions on the tree spade frame. Models WLSS330, WLST440, and WLDR440 have one or more spades that hydraulically swing open and closed to more easily position the spades around the tree and to adjust the size of the root ball.

All models come complete with the hoses and joystick control. The standard mounting for all the tree spades listed is quick attach mounting to your skid steer loader, or a tractor loader with modifications, (on a tractor loader you would have to lengthen the hoses and move the joystick control to control the tree spade from the tractor seat).

If your tractor loader's attachment link where the bucket attaches is not a universal quick attach type, then you can purchase a front loader mount adapter, (they are listed below), to quick attach mount this to the front of your loader. Also listed below is the 3 point hitch mount adapter which allows you to mount this unit on the back of the 3 point hitch of your tractor. The adapter has a rigid link and a vertical elevator for down pressure, and includes the hoses.

• Features/Specifications


• Quick attach mount hydraulic tree spade, standard mounting designed for skid steer loaders or tractor loaders with quick attach mounting, but three point hitch adapter is available for rear mounting on tractors, and if your loader is not quick attach compatible, we have the loader mounting adapters so you can mount this on your tractor front end loader
• Five models are available, with lifting capacities ranging from: 1 1/2 inch diameter hardwood/Maple trees and 2 inch diameter Evergreen trees; 2 1/2 inches hardwood / 3 inches Evergreen; and 3 inches in diameter hardwood / 4 inches in diameter Evergreen. Depending upon model, root ball capacity is 24, 30, or 40 inches in diameter.
• The frame arms on the WLST324, and WLST330 are welded solid and are not hinged, making the spades in a fixed position. These two models have 3 digging spades; spades on all models are positioned at a fixed angle.
• Models WLSS330, WLST440, and WLDR440 all have one or two (depending upon model), spade arms that swing open or closed so you can adjust the size of root ball you want, and to make positioning the spade around the tree easier. The model WLSS330 has three spades, and one arm with one of the spades attached swings open and closed. The models WLST440 and WLDR440 both have two arms that swing open.
• Hydraulic capacity from your skid steer or tractor is a minimum of 5 gpm and maximum required is 25 gpm, and with horsepower ranges as shown on the specifications chart
• Model WLDR440 is the top of the line model. General specifications and capacities are similar to the other 440 series model, the model WLST440, but if you look at the photos, you will see several major design feature differences. All models feature a heavy duty design with all steel construction. The WLDR440 has a different frame, one that has a tighter semi-circle design to hold the rootball better. The Spade towers still swing out to accomodate the maximum size rootball or 40 inches in diameter, but the unit will wrap around the rootball tighter to give it maximum support. Another major design difference is the more complicated and efficient design of the spade towers, allowing the hydraulic cylinder to be enclosed. The WLDR440 tree spade also uses and electric valve to control the functions of the tree spade from the cab of the skid steer. The other models, including the WLST440 all use manual hydraulic control valves. The units with manual valves do mount the valves withing reach of the operator, but the electric valve is easier to use. The WLDR440 simply incorporates the most heavy duty construction and advanced design of the models.




• Optional adapters to allow mounting on a tractor loader that has quick attach bucket mount already, an adapter for loaders that aren't now quick attach at the bucket, and a rigid mounting adapter for mounting these units on the three point hitch of a tractor (category 2 or 3)
