Brian K WheelHorse 28 #1 Posted May 22, 2013 Here's my homemade sod cutter. I was going to get a single bottom Brinly plow, but I really just wanted to remove the sod, so I didn't have to till the grass and roots it into the soil for our garden. It worked pretty good. Cool thing is that I don't need a 3 point hitch: https://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=10201190038741917¬if_t=video_processed 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brian K WheelHorse 28 #6 Posted May 22, 2013 I like It! Any pics or description of the construction? Yeah - I will take a video and describe the construction. I can probably have it done by this weekend. It actually can fold up for movement but that can be refined a bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chrisd200(inactive) 55 #9 Posted May 22, 2013 Gotta get me one of those! That was so awesome! I have used "professional" sod cutters and I dont think they worked much better than that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brian K WheelHorse 28 #12 Posted May 23, 2013 Thanks guys - I will get a quick "how-to" video going this week end when my schedule settles down if anyone is interested in building their own. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JimmyJam 542 #13 Posted May 23, 2013 Really! You built that thing? Really Cool! Can't with for the construction! Let us know!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 16,980 #14 Posted May 23, 2013 I wonder how well it would work using the mid tach and a solid link for down pressure? That could eliminate the need for a friend to stand on it, although that looks like fun too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leeave96 487 #15 Posted May 23, 2013 That is VERY COOL!!!!!!!!! Did you transplant the sod somewhere else? Need some pics of the moldboard plowing the garden next... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That could eliminate the need for a friend to stand on it, although that looks like fun too. I think that would work great but I like low-hassle stuff...lol. That is VERY COOL!!!!!!!!! Did you transplant the sod somewhere else? Need some pics of the moldboard plowing the garden next... I used the sod to fill some gaps where I ran a trench for drainage in my yard 2 years ago - didn't waste any of it.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bo dawg 516 #17 Posted May 24, 2013 Can it be any wider? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian K WheelHorse 28 #18 Posted May 25, 2013 I would have made it wider but the whole design is based on the width of the grinder blade I got got free - lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JPWH 6,032 #25 Posted May 2, 2022 I know this thread is almost 10 yrs old but I am curious to know if anyone has built one. I have been searching the internet for ideas. I have only cut sod with with a shovel but I tore the planter facia in my right foot a couple years ago and can't do that any more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
