Problem I've come across is when digging the tree itself with a hoe, the soil disturbance will tear a lot of feeder roots and even break some of the others. Then when you release the tree from the hoe bucket, the root ball will be even further damaged, if not completly disintegrate. If the tree is only 2", it is very easy to dig by hand. You can still dig the hole on the other end where the tree will be put with the hoe.

A google search on transplanting trees will give you several ideas and recomendations for root ball size.
