ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for starting a turn in a strip of sod travelling along a conveyor and for causing the sod to roll up once an end of the strip has been turned, which apparatus is effective on sods of any condition, comprises deflecting means having a scoop to receive the leading end of a sod up to a stop plate adjustable in the scoop, contact of the sod with the stop plate causing the scoop to pivot and turn up the leading end of the sod, the deflecting means being mounted above the conveyor so as to be able to be lifted by the turned up sod, whereafter the conveyor carries the sod beneath the deflecting means, which also has cross-bars on its underside to cause rolling up of the sod once the end has been turned up.
