Features
Performance
Precision Cutting up to 2.5 Inches Deep
Efficiently complete the job with Bobcat sod cutters. You can cut sod up to 2.5 inches thick at a width of 12 inches.
Honda GX160 Gas Engine
The Honda GX160 engine provides the durablility and reliability you need for daily sod-cutting duties. The engine is easy starting, fuel efficient and ideal for heavy-duty, sod-cutting applications.
Angled Blade Versatility
In heavy, challenging soils, you can increase the blade angle up to 10 degrees, which helps maintain optimal ground contact for efficient cutting.
Cast-Iron Turf Tread Wheels
Turf tread wheels provide the traction you need to efficiently dig into sod while minimizing turf tearing and damage.
Durability & Uptime Protection
Signature Cast-Iron Gearbox
Meticulously engineered for superior strength and durability, the cast-iron gearbox is built to last and designed for maximum uptime.
Sturdy Front Bumper
A tough front bumper guards your machine as you lean it forward for the cut; it also protects from unexpected contact with jobsite obstacles.
Optional Laser-Clad Blade
The reinforced edge of a laser-clad blade keeps its shape longer, sharpening itself as it wears down. Depending on working conditions, it can last up to 2.5 times longer than a standard blade. It’s a must-have for abrasive, sandy soils.
Comfort & Ease of Operation
Rubber Vibration Isolators and Rubber Handle Knobs
Bobcat sod cutters feature rubber vibration isolators that that enhance operator comfort and reduce fatigue. Rubber handle knobs further enhance the operator experience.
Swiveling Rear Wheel
The caster wheel supports easy turning and manueverabily for precise operation.
Intuitive Controls
All the controls you need for precise sod-cutting are simple to use and within easy reach. Operators can easily change the blade depth and angle for precise sod cutting. The operator's control panel features color-coded illustrations that help turn even novice operators into effective sod cutters in little time.
