Features
Performance
5
Precision Cutting up to 2.5 Inches Deep
Efficiently complete the job with Bobcat sod cutters. You can cut sod up to 2.5 inches thick at a width of 18 inches.
Honda GX160 Gas Engine
The Honda GX160 engine provides the durablility and reliability you need for daily sod-cutting duties. The engine is easy starting, fuel efficient and ideal for heavy-duty, sod-cutting applications.
Powerful Hydrostatic Transmission
The hydrostatic transmission delivers the ultimate in productivity. Cut sod at speeds as high as 2 mph or move the machine into position with travel speeds up to 4mph.
Angled Blade Versatility
In heavy, challenging soils, you can increase the blade angle up to 10 degrees, which helps maintain optimal ground contact for efficient cutting.
Cast-Iron Turf Tread Wheels
Turf tread wheels provide the traction you need to efficiently dig into sod while minimizing turf tearing and damage.
Durability & Uptime Protection

Signature Cast-Iron Gearbox
Meticulously engineered for superior strength and durability, the cast-iron gearbox is built to last and designed for maximum uptime.
Sturdy Front Bumper
A tough front bumper guards your machine as you lean it forward for the cut; it also protects from unexpected contact with jobsite obstacles.
Optional Laser-Clad Blade
The reinforced edge of a laser-clad blade keeps its shape longer, sharpening itself as it wears down. Depending on working conditions, it can last up to 2.5 times longer than a standard blade. It’s a must-have for abrasive, sandy soils.

Whether your cutting sod or just moving the machine into place for work, the variable transmission supports smooth, stable and precise operations as well as seamless transitions from forward to reverse.
Intuitive Controls
All the controls you need for precise sod-cutting are simple to use and within easy reach. Operators can easily change the blade depth and angle for precise sod cutting. The operator's control panel features color-coded illustrations that help turn even novice operators into effective sod cutters in little time.
Blade Engagement Lever
The blade engagement lever allows the operator to engage the blade independently of the traction drive.
