You didn"t say what type of evergreens. Assuming pine/spruce, with a 50" spade you can go up to an 18" tree. A 50" spade on a 6" tree is overkill for sure.
I move 8 footers all the time with my 30" spade. As long as you can give them a deep watering once a week you should be fine. With real sandy soil you"ll have to water more often.
Here in heavy Michigan clay, I move trees until the ground hardens up, usually around June 15 or so.
Assuming your renting/borrowing a spade, if you have other trees to move, that spade will handle a 4-4 1/2" deciduous tree. On a Bradford pear or honeylocust you may want to go a little smaller on the tree, they tend to have a large root base to them.
As others have said, it is best to transplant in the fall, after cooler temps have set in.
