  • Patent number: 4892153
    Abstract: A sod harvester in which two transversely spaced cutterheads form sod into two side-by-side strips and slice the strips away from the underlying earth. The strips then are wound into rolls on a roller carried by the rear of the harvester. A power-driven endless belt engages the strips to initially wrap the strips around the roller and then assists in winding the strips into rolls of comparatively large diameter. A magazine on the harvester carries a supply of rollers and includes an escapement which may be actuated to drop a roller to the ground after sod has been wound on a preceding roller.
