tree spade on tractor

Farmall 656

Member
I have a small tree farm which some of the trees have grown to 4'-5' tall. I have found a tree spade that can either be attached to the 3pt hitch or front of tractor loader. I own a 574 with a 3pt hitch and a 656 with Farmhand 225 all hydraulic loader but with no 3pt hitch. The questions I have to you about the tractors are this:
1) Does the 574's 3pt hitch have enough lift to raise up beyond the 27" needed to get the spade/tree out of the ground?
2) Does the 656 have the hydraulic capacity to operate a tree spade like this? Spade specs call for: max psi of 3000 lbs, 05 ? 25 GPM flow is required

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!! Thank you!!
 
Both those tractors will have 1500-1700 psi and 12 gal per minute capacity. Pumps with more psi & gpm were available.
 
If it was on the rear 3-point, would the tree hit you in the back of the head as you raised the tree up?
