ABSTRACT:
A gopher sod cutter and bailer machine. A generally triangular shaped lower center blade has an adjustable depth mechanism to permit the cutting of lower sod to desired depth. On the side of the machine are two spaced disc blades whose spacing may be adjusted that determine the width of cut sod. Mounted on a string table fixed to the machine's main frame is the height adjustment column for the adjustable depth mechanism and several spindles used to supply lengths of string. Guiding pipes supply the string from each spindle to the ground after the sod has been cut and lifted by the center blade and this string wraps around the lifted cut sod to form a sod ball. A rear mounted sod spindle attached to the machine's main frame retains the formed wrapped sod ball until disconnected from its rear side mounted frame extensions for transport.
