"Less
Work Than Hand-Digging, Less Expensive Than Hydraulic Equipment..."
"The Tree Toad
is a significant improvement over other types of transplanting equipment.
I have two Tree Toads! I use the smaller one to transplant smaller trees and
shrubs. The larger one fits on a three-point tractor hitch and I use it to
transplant 2-3" diameter trees. We used to dig trees with picks, shovels,
and tractor lifts. That takes extensive labor. The only other way was to rent
a hydraulic machine and that's very costly. The Tree Toad is ergonomically
efficient -- it's man, machine, and tree working well together, because the
Tree Toad is designed to remove the tree correctly. With the hitch model,
the tractor takes all the weight. The Spades go in the ground very easily
with the manual driver."

Says Low Cost, High Performance Equals Great Value...
"If a homeowner
or gardener has some trees, he can use a Tree Toad. I had a lot of trees planted
very closed together around my house and I wanted to move them without rutting
the lawn. The Tree Toad can go into a yard when it's muddy, and it's easy
to maneuver. Backhoes or loaders tear up the lawn even when it's dry. The
Tree Toad is inexpensive for the value. An alternative is a 24" hydraulic
spade that goes on the front of a loader. It costs about $12,000-$15,000!
The Tree Toad is easy to use. You can tow it with a lawn tractor and pull
it all over the yard without any problem. Or you can pull it by hand and get
your tree planted without damaging other trees and shrubs around it."

"Pays
for Itself in Time Savings..."
"I've
used the Tree Toad since last winter and I'm very happy with it. It's a lot
of labor to dig trees by hand. We were digging 3-foot blue spruce and arborvitae
by hand with a shovel and it could take all afternoon. It's backbreaking work.
Now it's fast and easy with the Tree Toad. I wish I'd bought it three years
ago. It works great and I'm really pleased with it. We haven't had a bit of
trouble. It does everything they say and a little more. It's a good value
because it paid for itself in time savings. When you dig a tree by hand, the
rootball can be uneven. Sometimes you dig closer or farther away -- but the
Tree Toad digs uniformly. That means less root disruption. It also digs the
same size root ball for every tree. You'll never get my Tree Toad away from
me, that's for sure!"

"The
Tree Toad is Ideal for me..."
"I
have 15 acres of container grown nursery stock and operate a smaller Ball
& Burlap operation as well. The Tree Toad is ideal for me because it offers
a lower initial investment than a hydraulic spade, and is zero maintenance.
It really suits my Ball & Burlap business. My 3-point hitch model goes
on easily and can be switched out with other attachments quickly. The lighter
weight and mobility of the Tree Toad are great for delicate landscape situations.
Anybody who can drive a tractor can operate a Tree Toad. It's cost effective."

"Worth
Its Weight in Gold..."
"I
operate a 35+ acre nursery of various landscape ornamentals, including a grafting
operation for fruit trees. We have two Tree Toads, a 16-Inch Cart and a 24-Inch
3-Point Hitch model. The 16-Inch Cart is worth its weight in gold for moving
small trees and older graftings out of our nursery into the main growing area.
It is much easier and more beneficial than hand digging, as we get more of
the deeper root structure with minimal shock.
We used the 24-Inch
3-Point Hitch model to transplant
150 trees this year. We also used it to dig holes for bare root transplanting.
The Tree Toad allowed us to purchase and transplant 3-5 year old spruce trees
from a Christmas Tree operation close out where spacing was very tight. Our
Tree Toads are very well made and a great value for the amount of benefit
to my nursery operation."

"Does
a Fine Job..."
"After
a year of owning this tool, we remain happy with it. We have dug about 100
trees, all 5'-7' conifers. The Tree Toad does a fine job."
