ABSTRACT:
Sod laying apparatus for use with a self propelled vehicle. The vehicle has a front end mounting mechanism having an attachment engagement member for releasably engaging an attachment. The attachment engagement member is moveable between an attachment engagement position in which the engagement member is positioned in a manner to support the attachment in a position suitable for operating the attachment, and an attachment disengagement position in which the engagement member is positioned to facilitate disengagement of the engagement member from the attachment. The sod laying apparatus comprises a sod unrolling unit having a support mechanism, and a sod engagement mechanism connected to the support mechanism. The sod engagement mechanism is configured to engage a roll of sod in a manner to facilitate rotation of the roll of sod relative to the support mechanism. The support mechanism is adapted to be releasably engaged and supported by the attachment engagement member when the attachment engagement member is in its engagement position and adapted to be disengaged from the attachment engagement member when the attachment engagement member is in its disengagement position.
