ABSTRACT:
A turf handling machine includes a chassis and a turf carrying apparatus mounted to the chassis for carrying a roll of turf. The roll of turf having an axial width and a circumferential surface. The chassis is mounted to two continuous driving tracks. The driving tracks normally drive the chassis in a forward direction over a ground surface upon which the turf is to be laid at a driving speed. A turf conveying apparatus is positioned on the chassis below the turf carrying apparatus. The turf conveying apparatus is arranged to contact a substantial portion of the circumferential surface of the roll of turf so as to cause the roll to be unwound and conveying the turf toward the ground surface behind the driving tracks when driven. The conveying of the turf is automatically synchronized with the driving speed so that the turf is laid at the driving speed.
