A patent like contrivance attaches to a wagon to lift and angle large trees for transport. It uses endless chains and cog wheel blocks to raise the tree from its root ball, replacing fragile ropes.

Wax mix made from resin beeswax and tallow or linseed oil kept warm to apply. This approach aims to yield bearing trees sooner than replanting.
