Types of machinery for moving deciduous trees may be classified as follows : The most primitive device is a two-wheeled cart with a pole. The tree is dug, and the cart is secured to it witli the trunk resting in a notch in the axle or bolster, 2546. Moving a tree in winter, with a large ball of frozen earth. and the pole lashed up among the branches. The tree is pulled over and dragged root foremost. In a modification of the above, a platform under the ball connects the rear axle, bearing the tree, with the front axle. Of this type are The Hall, Estes, Santimer, Rutherford and other patents. In one form the tree is loaded top foremost, and by means of a turn-table above the rear axle, swung around to position. These ma- chines usually carry a ball of earth and roots, 7 to 9 ft. in diameter, cut shorter on the side next to the platform. For moving trees in an upright position, there are low platform trucks, and trucks with two high perches. In the latter, one perch or a section of the axle is re- moved to admit the trunk between the perches. This form is used in England; also a similar one in which the tree is swung vertically beside the axle of a two- wheeled cart drawn by one horse. 'When carried verti- cally, the top interferes with electric wires and the tops of other trees, and the roots are injured by the platform or other support. It is not practicable to carry a spread of 30
