Personally I wouldn’t attempt it. In all the years I did trees it was hard enough getting newly planted trees established. The few companies that do transplant trees successfully are like wizards to me...
If you’ve got the digger handy and are prepared to lose the tree then give it a while. I believe there’s a process of digging the rootball out over a period of time to reduce the shock that may be worth looking into.

Has anyone had any success moving established trees? No budget for a tree spade but do have a big enough digger. It's an oak tree, about 15ft tall.
