Standard Features

Always Ready Blade Head - Stocker Spades are “dig ready” meaning all you do is lower the head and dig – no waiting for blades to position they already are.
Tight Work Digger Head - Stocker uses a patented “No tower head” providing you with a more environmentally friendly spade head for getting into tight areas. But don’t let that small size fool you, we still out-dig any other brand.
Clear View Backing - Because we have no towers to have to see around, when the digging head is lowered and opened you have a clear view of the tree. No lowering tower blocking view.
Automatic Stabilizers - Stocker has built in leveling system. You can lower either side to level digging head. Add-on Stabilizers get in the way of other objects and also put indentations in turf which have to be filled in, wasting time and causing unnecessary damage.
Fine Tune Planting - Stocker spades have fine-tune adjusting, allowing you to manipulate the spade to get around buildings or tree branches, or even in the nursery for “just the right tree”..
Digging Head Mounted Hydraulic Valve - No guessing with a Stocker Spade, you are right there so you can see 360 degrees where you are, whether digging or installing a tree.
Simple Disconnect - You can unhook digging head with 4 pins and 2 hoses in about About 15 minutes.

What our customers are saying

"My client had an addition put on that basically created an 8 foot wide alcove by the front door of their home. The landscape architect and customer had found the perfect tree to place there, but couldn’t a tree mover that would fit in their tight space. Thanks to the unique Stocker Tree Spade design, I was able to back my rig in and give them just what they wanted. It was so tight, I even had to fold in the mirror of the truck to back it in!"

~ Minnesota Nursery Customer

"I had called a bunch of tree movers to help move in some pine trees for a Christmas photo shoot we were doing and almost all I needed to wait for the frost to ease up in the spring before they could dig. Finally, I found someone with a Stocker Tree Spade. Not only were they able to dig when I need and get trees in place for me, but because of their great service, I later hired them for some other work later in the year."
