Attaching plates to mate the BIG JOHN transplanter to the host vehicle come with the purchase of your tree spade. We need to know what host vehicle you are going to use so that we may properly fit the plate. There are some exceptions to this so please discuss with your sales representative your vehicle and its attaching hardware requirements.

Most customers opt to have their loader mount tree spades shipped directly to them. We do on occasion have customers that want to come to Heber Springs to pick the unit up. If you decide to pick your unit up please remember to bring an adequate transport vehicle and plenty of tie down hardware
(i.e. Chains and binders).
