Sod cutter
BlueBird's new SC550 sod cutter is designed for tough sod removal projects. From small jobs like creating the foundation for a new landscape bed to larger jobs like clearing for a new driveway, the SC550 is built for productivity with features such as dual cutting speeds, dual transport speeds and a powered reverse. Engineered with fewer parts for increased durability and simplified service, the sod cutter features a 5.5-hp Honda engine with oil bath centrifugal clutch and sure-footed 4-wheel drive for traction and stability. The blade engagement design automatically downshifts the wheel drive to restrict cutting in transport speeds, reducing stress on the drive system.

The models feature an advanced impeller design, with aerodynamically constructed housing and curved air inlet, which translates into maximum airflow. The side discharge system allows the operator to change air direction without tools, and 12-inch pneumatic rear wheels add to the machine's maneuverability. The cushion-gripped, height-adjustable handle helps to reduce operator fatigue.
