ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for excavating and transplanting a tree having an elongate trunk and a plurality of roots extending downwardly into a ground location. The apparatus includes a wheeled frame supporting a chassis, an elongated trailer hitch portion extending from a first end of the chassis and a tree excavating portion extending from a second end of the chassis. First, second and third guide assemblies are arranged in triangular fashion around a periphery of the tree excavating portion and each receive a selected spade element. A hammer is provided and is engageable with the spade elements in successive fashion so as to drive the spade elements in inwardly and downwardly angled fashion within the selected ground location. The elongated trailer hitch portion is pivotally deflected in a downward fashion so as to exert an upward pivoting force upon the tree excavating portion and to forcibly remove the selected tree from the ground location.
