Easy-To-Make Sod Cutter

Easy-To-Make Sod Cutter CROPS Miscellaneous 34-2-3 "I made this sod cutter to use around my farm and at our church camp to replace grass or to level the ground in high traffic areas," says Doug Firebaugh, Freeport, Ill. "It's designed to be pulled by a tractor and cut a 12-in. wide, 2-in. thick strip of sod. It rides on runners 2 in. wide and is welded to a -in. thick beveled blade set at a downward angle of 10 degrees to help it stay in the ground. "The sides of the sod strips are cut by two 7-in. circular saw blades mounted on an axle at the front of the blade. The frame is by 1 by 2-in. I-beam stock and is 28 in. long, 14 in. wide, and 10 in. high. If the ground is hard, you can put cement blocks on top to keep it in the ground." Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Doug Firebaugh, 697 N.
