Big John Model 55 Truck Mount
Print this Page | Add to Favorites
 


Model 55D Truck Mount

The Model 55 is arguably the toughest machine we build. Built with all the rugged characteristics of the larger spades, the Model 55D works great on a class 7 single axle truck. What this means to you is that you can move 5 to 6 inch caliper trees on a truck that is highly maneuverable and able to get into those tight places. Also, you can operate the smaller chassis without a CDL. Simple, rugged, dependable… You can’t go wrong with a BIG JOHN Tree Transplanter.
Contact your sales representative for details.

Increase your efficiency with a BIG JOHN pod trailer. Save time and money and greatly reduce mileage by moving multiple trees per trip. Call us to learn more.
