    I know theres a machine that cuts/scrapes in under the grass/sod,and then you remove the lawn/sod.Its similar to a mini rotivator that you push along.But for the life of me I cannot remember what its called.:confused:

    Anyone know what its called,and where you can hire 1 out??

    many thanks.:)

    I think you might mean a scarifier (you can get manual or electric ones to buy).

    Thanks folks and thanks google aswell.

    2 stroke petrol powered Sod cutter or turf cutter.

    Sam Hire and other hire shops have them for around 40-50 euro a day.

    Saw one in operation on gardening programme with Alan Titmarsh recently. Looks like a useful machine.

    Bye bye back breaking labour and countless trips to the skip with the wheelbarrow.

    A sod cutter. You can hire them from Heaven hire. You can get different width of them as well. Handy machine :D
