What is a sod cutter rental? A sod cutter rental is a machine that is used to help cut and remove sod. The advantage of a sod machine cutter it that it uses a horizontal blade to cut grass quickly and efficiently. The sod can then be rolled up and hauled away or moved to a different part of the lawn.
A sod cutter will allow you to adjust the height of the cutting blade before you begging. If you are goin to be reusing the sod or transplanting it, I recommend a depth of ¾ inches or more. If you are just tearing out the sod, you are going to want to cut only low enough to remove the grass. This trick will save you a lot of time in clean up. Usually, this mean ¼ to ½ inch. Also an 18 sod cutter is actually easy to use then a 12 inch and it stay a lot more level when you are cutting. Before you start cutting, you need to make sure that you know where the sprinkler heard are and how the sprinkler lines run.
If you are going to be doing most of the work yourself, see if you can recruit someone to help you at least for a few hours because it is a really hard job to do by yourself.
It is also a very good idea to have a wheel barrow handy. When I cut sod, I will typically roll it into 4 or 5 piles. From these piles, you will want to move them into a truck to haul them away. A ¾ ton truck can handle about 500 square feet of sod but a lot with depend on how wet it is. The dryer the sod, the easier it will be to haul it away in you flatbed to the dump.
