Bradco / Paladin built
Balled or boxed trees
145 lbs
Overview
This Bradco mini skid steer tree fork handles balled or boxed landscape trees and shrubs on mini loaders. It uses a universal mount and weighs just 145 lbs, with lightweight yet strong construction. It does the same job as the full-size tree forks at a scale a mini loader can carry — which is what lets you work in nursery rows and on finished ground.
Key Features of the Bradco Mini Skid Steer Tree Fork
- Handles balled or boxed landscape trees and shrubs.
- Universal mount for mini loaders.
- 145 lbs — lightweight yet strong construction.
- A mini loader tree fork sized for its carrier, not a cut-down full-size frame.
- A compact tree fork for confined work: nursery rows and finished ground a full-size machine would damage.
- A balled tree fork mini loaders can actually carry — tree handling mini loader work is limited by machine capacity, and 145 lbs leaves most of it for the tree.
- A universal mount tree fork, so this mini tree fork attachment fits the standard mini loader plate rather than a proprietary fitting.
- Used as a mini skid steer nursery fork where row spacing rules out a full-size machine.
Why Choose This Mini Skid Steer Tree Fork
- Machine size decides the tool. A full-size tree fork at 680 lbs would use most of a mini loader's capacity before the tree is lifted.
- Access is the reason to own one. Nursery rows and established landscapes are where a mini loader earns its place, and this is the tree attachment for that machine.
- Boxed and balled stock need cradling, not piercing. That is what separates a tree fork from a spear, whatever the size.

Forks or Spade — Which Tree Attachment?
Bradco builds three tree attachments. Two carry trees that are already dug; one digs them. The question is whether the tree is in the ground or in a ball.
| Attachment | What it does | Carrier |
|---|---|---|
| Tree Forks (full size) | Lifts and carries balled or boxed trees | Skid steer — grasps up to 44" tree balls |
| Mini Tree Fork | Same job at mini loader scale | Mini loader — 145 lbs |
| Tree Spade | Digs the root ball and moves the whole tree | Skid steer — four capacity classes |
For full-size skid steers handling larger stock, the full-size tree forks grasp tree balls up to 44". If the tree is still in the ground, the tree spade digs the root ball and moves the whole tree.
Which Machines Fit This Mini Skid Steer Tree Fork?
This fork uses a universal mount for mini loaders and needs no hydraulics. At 145 lbs it leaves most of a mini loader's rated capacity available for the tree itself, which is the point of buying the mini version rather than the full-size one.
| Requirement | Specification |
|---|---|
| Carrier | Mini loader |
| Mount | Universal mount |
| Attachment weight | 145 lbs |
| Hydraulics | None required |

Mini Tree Fork Questions, Answered
What size trees will it handle?
Bradco publishes the application — balled or boxed landscape trees and shrubs — but not a ball diameter figure for the mini version. The practical limit is your mini loader's rated capacity.
Why not just use the full-size forks?
At 680 lbs the full-size fork would consume most of a mini loader's capacity before lifting anything. This one is 145 lbs.
What does universal mount mean here?
It fits the standard mini loader attachment plate rather than a proprietary Bradco fitting. Confirm your machine uses that standard before ordering.
Can it dig trees?
No. It carries trees that are already balled or boxed. Digging is a tree spade job.
Is it strong enough at 145 lbs?
Bradco describes it as lightweight yet strong. Light does not mean weak here — it means the frame is sized for mini loader loads rather than over-built for a machine that cannot use the strength.
How do I know what my mini loader can lift with it?
Take your machine's rated operating capacity and subtract the 145 lb attachment weight. What remains is available for the tree and its root ball — and a wet ball is heavier than it looks.
Will it damage finished turf?
That depends on the machine rather than the attachment. Mini loaders are chosen for this work precisely because they mark finished ground far less than a full-size skid steer.
Is a tree fork better than a bucket for moving shrubs?
For balled or boxed stock, yes. A bucket cannot cradle a root ball securely, and material rolls as soon as the machine moves. The forks hold the ball as a unit.
