| 12.22.2017 – There are utility service trucks that do construction and other sort of things that help build a community. In some parts of the world when something is built most trees are either cut down or removed without preserving them.
But developing countries has found a way to preserve trees or being transplanted to a new neighbouring community. Matchbox produced one of the ‘New Models’ for 2017 and that’s the Tree Lugger, which is ready to transplant large trees! (Please CLICK on the title for the full article) |
Rarely, you’ll find a Truck Mounted Tree Spade they are basically large vehicles that move trees and transplanting them in a new location. So far no history had come up online where or which company brand has produced them until Big John Manufacturing started to have that particular vehicle.
It’s basically not a ‘lugger’ but Tree Spade mounted heavy vehicle that’s known to move a large tree to another location without the need to cut it down. Big John Manufacturing have built the Model 60 Tree Spade Truck capable of moving a Calliper Tree, which is an actual service truck that probably is where the Tree Lugger is based from when Matchbox produced a new casting.

Lugging Trucker
The Tree Lugger is one of the newest models to debut in Matchbox’s mainline for 2017. It’s an unlicensed model of a truck mounted tree spade with working grabber-like device to hold any small tree that can be moved without cutting it.
Its tractor head is in aqua green with solid dark windows, which means this new casting doesn’t have an interior. The service vehicle’s tampogrph has “Rootsman Tree Service”, which is designated as part of the MBX Construction sub-line

A Truck in Spades
Lugging trees from one place to another would come at ease with the Tree Lugger. The details and quality wheels make this a nice casting to get. Though this loses quality points due to its lacking interior it makes up for the functionality of the digger that’s also removable.
Overall the Tree Lugger is an addition to those who collect construction related vehicles. It’s a nice nod to the actual truck mounted tree spade, but what falls from its design and casting is the lack of interiors due to budget constrains.
