Front-Mounted "Turf Cutter"
Tony Haney has a slick way to remove unwanted turf. His garden tractor-mounted turf cutter slices and dices turf before he takes a blade to it.
  “I run back and forth over the section in a grid pattern and then at a diagonal,” says Haney. “It tears up the sod so I can blade it away easily.”
  The turf cutter is simply a shank and housing off an old cultivator given to him by a farmer friend. Haney did a little welding to fabricate a mount that matched the existing mount for the hydraulic front blade on his X728 Deere.
  “All it took was a little welding and a couple of hitch pins to match the bottom holes,” says Haney.
  “I can go down about 6 in. with it if I want,” he says. “It also works great to dig out weeds and grass alongside concrete pads. It pulls up everything.”
