ABSTRACT:
A machine for cutting shrubs and other plants from the soil and for lifting them with their root balls intact to deposit them upon the ground or in a previously formed hole for transplanting, comprises a support mounted on the three-point hitch of a tractor and provided with a spade or blade which can be drawn downwardly below the shrub by forward movement of the tractor and then rotated through 360.degree. to free the root ball from the surrounding soil. The support also carries an arm which can engage the root neck, stalk, trunk or stem of the shrub to hold and displace it independently of the blade-carrying structure.
