Hello, I am looking for anyone that would know anything about a sod harvester. I do not know anything about how wide of sod they cut, who makes the machine. I would like one that would harvest sod about 18" inches wide. I understand these machines are quite complex. I would appreciate any and all input.

Google Brouwer, Princeton, there are others, but can't remember now. I have an antique 3 point hitch sod harvester that was made in Olney, MD. It was made by Finneyfrocks welding shop, I believe that they held the patent.

That sod farm was in business 40 years ago when we had the house built. They sodded the front yard and seeded the back. I measured the lawn in the back and ordered a load. My neighbors wanted
some too so they brought a trailer load with a forklift. It was about 90 in the shade and we were about cooked by the time we got the sod layed. Hal

Back in 1980 we bought a new property in Denver and we decided to sod the place. The day it was to be delivered and laid we had an erand to run so we left the house most of the afternoon. When we returned there was one guy laying sod and the neighbors were gathered in little groups in the streets. Seems not long after the sod layers arrived so did the INS. They took fifteen away and left the foreman. Some things have been around a long time.

Here are some web sites for sod harveters. You can rent them too. There's a sod farm near me and their machine cuts the sod and two men stack the sod on pallets. Hal
