Anyone have a good idea of what one of these palms weighs? I have a 12,000 excavator that I borrowed to assist in moving it and some trailers as well, but I have no idea what the weigh is. I’d be relocating from the front to the backyard, but if one’s it’s down I can’t move it I’ll have to cut it up. It has roughly 12’ of grey trunk and it’s thick enough that you probably couldn’t wrap your arms around it at the base.

Just my WAG: 3000-4000 lbs depending on rootball?

I agree , somewhere under 2 tons. Your excavator should handle it. That is going to be quite the maneuver though. Perhaps someone with experience in moving Roystonea can advise. Harry
