The process of clearing trees, digging out the truck or even trying to uproot it for re-planting may proof to be difficult but no with this truck called Truck Spade.
The Truck spade can pull an entire tree out of the ground with little or no damages, depending on the root structure for the tree.
The tree-monster was named after the shape of its blade that are designed in the shape of a shovel or spade.
When in action, the spades go through the soil shearing roots and rocks and it can extract trees weighing up to 15,000 LBs, 6803.8855 Kilogrammes.
The machine removes the trunk, roots and soil in an easy motion leaving a conical shaped hole on the ground where the tree was growing from.
The plucked tree is then set on the back of the trunk for transportation making it easy to plant the tree again since there has been less or no disruption at all on the roots.
The Truck spades, manufactured by Dutchaman Industries – a company that has also developed several other machines for plants nurseries, come in different variety of sizes made for a different type of trees.
The famous The Planter can plant up to 8,000 trees per day.
The company also produced another machine named, the Tree Tyer. This machine wraps trees tightly with little branch damages.
Another machine by this company is the Tree Rex which has a giant articulated arm that quickly moves unplanted trees allowing for re-planted of the trees just within minutes.
