state Big Tree Moving Equipment 
During recent years there has become a more frequent demand for trees that will 
immediately give shade or screen effects or for trees of semi-mature growth larger 
than the average nursery sized tree. 
Bay State Equipment Transplants Trees 
Weighing Several Tons 
For that reason, we have tree moving equip¬ 
ment with which we can load trees weighing from 
two to ten tons with little effort, transport them 
to their destination, and just as easily lower them 
into the holes where they are to be planted. This 
equipment enables us to move large shade and 
evergreen trees with adequate balls of earth for 
them to transplant successfully with a minimum 
of effort and expense.
