See what others have to say about their BIG JOHN Loader Mounted Tree Spades!
I would definitely recommend the Big John tree spades to anyone looking for a reliable, efficient and robust digging machine. The style and design of the Big John 90D proved to be way better and allowed for more down pressure in much harder ground than the other manufacturers’ spade.
Friendly service, straight to the point type. Check’m’out!
Amazing and reliable machines.
Big John has been the back bone of our company for 30 years now. They are high in quality, durability, dependability, and affordability. Great response from parts and service if needed. Still moving trees in north east Florida.
Quality built Tree Spades made by a American company with a proven track record since the 1970’s.
After owning 3 different manufacturers of Tree Spades I realized I needed to use the Big John brand so I could be more efficient No other manufacture offers the tree pod capability of taking multiple trees to the job site with 1 trip. Fuel is expensive and time isn’t cheap!
Fantastic company with people who care about your business and their products are first class with the service to back them up.
