Wow I'd love to transplant my 6' + hibiscus tree (which is huge and gorgeous) into the front yard but cannot handle a bobcat Ty for sharing beautiful tree!
As you know, the forks should have been leveled out, and better supervision by the person on foot. Sometimes its hard for the skidsteer operator to recognize what misalignment the forks are. Hand language, and better direction was necessary here. I do the same, mistakes happen, we all learn from it. Last week I transplanted a tree that was installed three years prior on the same site. I removed a 30 inch ball that was 20 inches deep. Got it out of the hole all by hand, and moved w/ a tree dolly. Not impossible at all. Dig around it generously, deep spade around the bottom of the ball. Tip the tree to one side of the hole, back fill it w/ soil, then tip it onto the packed backfilled soil. then do the opposite side. Back fill that side,, and eventually that back and forth motion with pabcked soil will get the bottom of the root ball to the top level of the hole. By that time the entire hole is filled with packed soil. Lay the tree on it's side, and roll it onto the grass, upright it, and transport it with a hand dolly. My largest tree completed like this was a 16 foot beech, with a 36 inch ball, 30 inches deep. Same back/forth motion with packed soil, and it was to the top of the existing ground, and rolled to the grass, picked up w/ a dolly, and transplanted. We also remove large boulders same way as long as it fits a dolly, or put on a tarp, and pulled along the grass w/ 2 or three people to its resting place. Grunt, just grunt.Sure beats having to haul a shidsteer from the yard and back again. Good job on the maple. Those roots are so prolific and keeps all the soil intact.
I just transplanted a tree just like this. Could I send you pics and you let me know what I fd up. I desperately want it live. She is a gift from a mother like figure. Any tips would be appreaciated
Hello ! This vedio is very helpful for me as am doing my gardening work and I have this maple in middle of my garden whr I need to lay kunst grass ! Just tht the maple has big and long roots How can I replant tht! Need help plzzzzz
@@Projectoftheday An 8 foot oak tree is a baby.Absolutely no reason to cut it down. Dig the tree as I described above. The roots aren't that deep. Go for it.
Why is it people have trees that need to be moved, and they say, I don't own, or know how to operate a bobcat? It's like a person that wants his house painted, and says I don't know how to use a sprayer. Roll it out, baby, roll it out.
Thank you for this video! Gives me the confidence to get this Beautiful red maple tree tomorrow. Appreciate you! 🙏💪🙌🫶🎍

How can I replant tht!
Need help plzzzzz
Really good movie, Do you know it is possible to move an oak tree that is 8 feet high.
Because I have a very nice oak but in the wrong location
***** Thanks, will try to move it. The alternative is to cut it down but it would be a shame

Any update?
I wonder if I move a sugar maple
Absolutely! I've done it.
Are you still going to sell the bobcat?
Why is it people have trees that need to be moved, and they say, I don't own, or know how to operate a bobcat? It's like a person that wants his house painted, and says I don't know how to use a sprayer. Roll it out, baby, roll it out.
If someone has a friend like me they can always talk him into helping, and they don't have to run the Bobcat.
