Roller Scraper
Since the roller, in fact measures the length of the
sod being cut, it must be kept clean at all times, as
an increase in the size of the roller, due to a
collection of grass, mud or dirt, would increase the
length of the sod being cut.
A scraper is provided to prevent accumulation of
mud, grass or dirt on the roller, adjustment is
provided by two slotted holes. Adjust the scraper so
that the blade is just clear (approximately 1/32”) of
the roller face.
Sod Guide Bracket
On the standard cutting blade (16” & 18” conveyor)
the sod guide bracket directs the sod from the
cutting blade knife to the conveyor belt. The fingers
should lie in perfect line with, and just behind the
blade. Bent fingers should be straightened.
On the combination cutting blade, the fingers are
welded directly to the blade. Care should be taken
that these line up with the conveyor belt, and do not
strike the belt in operation. Bent fingers should be
straightened.
