    Default Kick Type Sod Removal Tool

    Kick Type Sod Removal Tool My experience.

    Place to buy. There may be others.

    Anybody who has removed sod with a shovel over a reasonably large area will know what backbreaking work it entails.

    I have almost half an acre of hard packed grass, and if I want to enlarge a growing area a challenge is presented.

    At first I rented a tool at 40 a clip or more and finally broke down and bought a sod removing tool off the internet. It was one of my finest investments in equipment.

    If the ground is wet the effort is minimal. The device is kicked forward and proceeds about a foot with each thrust. The sod is a perfect depth and is almost effortless compared to hands and knees with a shovel. When dry, the kick will not go a foot depending upon the effort, but it is still relatively easy.

    My dog Neena always helps me. She is saying, "Good job Durgan.'

    I have rented a similar type several times. This one is perfect. It is strongly made and most durable. I paid a lot for shipping, since I couldn't find it in Canada. I think I paid around $179.00 US, but I wanted it and I am totally happy. I have only had it about three months, and have removed a fair amount of sod. It is as good as ones I rented.

    I have seen others with a wooden handle, and higher price,for what reason, I can't imagine. Planting a tree is simple, because the sod can be removed in a few minutes as opposed to knee shovelling. Want a new bed, producing it is simple. I used to shutter everytime I had to remove sod.

    The news of this tool should be spread far and wide. It is absolutely perfect for the use intended, and the price is more than reasonable.

    I am in no way an agent for any company selling this product. I am simply a happy end user.

    I bought Neena (dog) at 6 months, and was told that she was a Pomeranian, but I think she has some other mix. Her fur in the Winter, when long, is very Pomeranian, but her face is not sharp like a Pomeranian.

    The highlighted text says it all. To many jobs are abandoned when trying to accomplish some task with the wrong tool(s).
