Abstract: A machine for lifting, transporting and transplanting trees hereinafter sometimes called a "Tree Caddy." The machine comprises a frame consisting of substantially horizontal members supported by wheels and supporting a plurality of (preferably three) upright members secured to the frame and normally extending substantially vertically upwards. Hangers are provided at the upper end of each of the upright members and winches or hoists are secured to the hangers. The roots of a tree which is to be raised from the earth, tilted, transported, and/or replanted is first "balled", that is to say that the roots together with suffient soil to protect them are shaped to form an approximate sphere or ball with the soil surrounding and protecting the roots. The "ball" is then wrapped with burlap or other similar material. It is then tied with chains or other appropriate tensile constituent such as wire, rope, etc.
