This leaves the self-propelled sod cutter as the most common in use in rental today. It is literally designed for a sod farm, and wide open spaces. The tractor mount, sod harvester unit is very efficient, but also is too large and unwieldy for homeowner use. As the name suggests, you kick it to cut the sod, and continue until A) you get the row finished, or B) you give up and go back to the rental center for a self-propelled unit. The manual, "kick-plow" type sod cutter depends on the user for all its power. There are three basic types of sod cutters - the manual, "kick-plow" type the tractor-mount sod harvester type (for large areas) and the self-propelled, walk-behind type, which is the variety most rental centers stock. Most every rental center has at least one sod cutter and some have a whole fleet, standing ready to clear space for a flower garden, a walkway, or just to harvest sod from one area for transplant to the next.
