SOD HARVESTERS ANNUAL EQUIPMENT & PRODUCT BUYER’S GUIDE

Bucyrus Equipment Company, Inc.

4200AR Automated Harvester This harvester is automated for one person with all of the controls on a cab-mounted control panel. From the comfort of the cab, one person can control procedures, such as setting lengths of big rolls, roll tension, dumping of big rolls (rolls are dumped to the side so they will not interfere with the next pass), injecting tubes and netting.

Magnum Pallet Sod Harvester The Magnum Pallet Sod Harvester cuts small rolls, folds or slabs, two at a time, in 16-, 18-, 21- or 24-in. widths. Production is faster with less turn around. The pallet is carried between stackers for easier stacking and pieces are guided into place. A foot pedal will lower the pallet so stackers do not have to lift pieces. This machine easily converts to a big roll harvester.

Magnum Big Roll Harvester The Magnum Big Roll Harvester is a pull-type unit powered by the PTO of a 40- to 60-hp tractor. Dual floating cutter heads produce consistent cuts in 30-, 32-, 36-, 40-, 42- and 48-in. widths. Two variable speed mats produce the tightest roll possible. A patented netting system applies the net to the sod after it is cut and before it is rolled. This allows weak or immature sod to be successfully harvested and installed.
