Experiences with sod cutters
The guy at the rental store very handily stowed it in that somewhat open
area that euphemistically passes as a backseat - top down, of course. It was another matter entirely for me to remove it from that position once I got it home. Managed to rope in an innocent passer-by to assist. Sometimes being a single woman has its disadvantages.........but not very often. pam "David J Bockman" wrote in message ...

Whooee, girl. You must be muscular. These things are heavy. I have a
trailer with a gate that swings down for ramp loading. Whew! Had me worried there for a while. JK Pam - gardengal wrote: = "J Kolenovsky" wrote in message ...

Experiences with sod cutters
I normally would. Time factor. The customer wants this done in 2 weeks
before the annual home tour. If I known her before she contracted me, I would have had her not water for several months and I would solarize and torch burn the top layer of turf. I kinda lucked out on this. She contracted me Thursday and the next customer on Friday contracted me to construct a rain garden for them and they needed a lot of sod. I'll pull this sod up and transport a few miles and relay it. = Tom Jaszewski wrote: = On Sat, 17 Apr 2004 10:06:09 -0500, J Kolenovsky wrote: = Anyone have any experiences to share? = Why are you removing sod?

If I do buy a used one for the business, it won't be a Ryan. Probably
will be a Bluebird. They are nice pieces of equipment. J Kolenovsky wrote: = Anyone have any experiences to share? -- Celestial Habitats by J.

I've tried all 3 now, Ryan, Bluebird and Classen. Survey says
"Classen!". J Kolenovsky wrote: = Anyone have any experiences to share? -- Celestial Habitats by J.
