I can see the advantage of this attachment but I will tell you what I do. We have a set of forks for our skidsteer. Forks are the most versatile attachment you can get. Beside the obvious uses they are great for ripping and digging in hard ground. They move rocks and balled trees. AND I use them like the tree spade. I slide both forks close together and dig the hole like the tree spade does. Then I slide the forks apart just wide enough to pick up the balled tree in a upright position and then drop it into the hole. Works real easy. Also forks seem to be made out of real tough "springy " metal and we just can't wear them out. Our set is on its 3rd skidsteer.
