[QUOTE="BrokenBackJack, post: 161663, member: 642"] Rather than using a shovel to plant, get a bobcat with a set of forks on it. Take one fork off and put the other one in the middle of the machine. Mark up from the tip of the fork 12''-14'' and mark it with duct tape. You then mark out a straight line and just use the bobcat to make the holes. Works good to soak the hole with water, let it set, put your tree in the so the root goes down and then fill with dirt. Works slick and with 3-4 people you can really plant the trees. You can go back and resoak the trees after being all planted and tapped too. We planted thousands this way and had very good success but very few were in prairie grass. Too often when planted by a tree planting machine the roots are horizontal and not vertical. Makes a big difference. [/QUOTE]
