Baumalight DR438

The Baumalight DR438 Industrial Tree Spade turns suitable skid steers into a controlled tree-transplanting system. Its 38-inch root ball diameter and 27-inch root ball depth give operators a defined digging envelope for lifting trees with soil around their roots. Designed for up to 4-inch evergreen trunks and 3.5-inch hardwood trunks, the DR438 fits nursery work, landscape renovation, and planned tree relocation.

4 hydraulically driven 5/16-inch T1 steel blades cut into the soil and form the root ball for lifting. The semi-truncated profile shapes the bottom of the ball as the cylinders extend, while replaceable nylon sliders guide the blades without requiring grease on the slide surfaces. The industrial frame includes a powered gate and hands-free lockable latch for a firm working structure.

The included universal skid steer mounting plate connects the spade to a suitable carrier. Two adjustable stabilizers are standard and let crews adjust the working setup for different root ball sizes. The digging system operates with 5–25 GPM and 2,900–4,000 PSI hydraulics.

Sleeved hoses protect the hydraulic lines, JIC fittings support service access, and the powder-coated body stands up to demanding outdoor work. Choose from the control packages shown in the options menu to suit your carrier and operating style. Wired and wireless packages use 12V power; AUX packages connect to the carrier’s electrical controls and use the matching connector configuration. The DR438 gives crews a practical combination of root ball control, accessible construction, and deliberate placement for repeatable transplanting work.

ENGINEERED FOR POWER:

  • 4 hydraulically driven digging blades cut into the soil and form the root ball as the cylinders extend.
  • 5/16-inch T1 steel blades provide a durable cutting surface for repeated soil penetration and root ball formation.
  • The 5–25 GPM hydraulic flow range identifies the carrier output required to operate the spade’s digging system.
  • The digging system operates at 2,900–4,000 PSI to drive the hydraulic cylinders through the blade cutting cycle.
  • A 38-inch root ball diameter defines the working size for lifting trees with soil around their roots.

BUILT FOR PRECISION:

  • A 27-inch root ball depth defines the digging envelope beneath the tree for controlled root ball lifting.
  • The 17-inch frame opening defines the available space for aligning the spade around the tree before digging.
  • The semi-truncated blade profile shapes the base of the root ball as the blades move into their digging position.
  • Replaceable nylon sliders guide all four digging blades and provide serviceable wear surfaces along the blade travel.
  • Two adjustable stabilizers are included to help support the digging platform while the blades enter the soil.

READY FOR THE FIELD:

  • Sleeved hydraulic hoses help protect the lines from abrasion as the attachment moves through digging and lifting cycles.
  • JIC hydraulic fittings provide accessible connection points for hose inspection, maintenance, and replacement.
  • The powder-coated finish protects the steel body during outdoor nursery, landscaping, and tree-moving work.
  • Integrated lifting eyes provide designated lifting points for handling the attachment during setup and storage.
  • The included universal skid steer mounting plate connects the spade to a suitable loader for digging and lifting trees.
