Abstract
Tractor-mounted apparatus for cutting, rolling and laying turf has parallel side cutters in front of a horizontal bottom cutter for cutting a strip of turf as the tractor advances, the turf strip being wound on a roller on a roller carrier behind the tractor and mounted on a lift frame for oscillation about an upright axis. A completed turf roll on the roller can be elevated by the lift frame and, by swinging the roller carrier, can be moved back through a right angle for unloading onto a platform, or swung through a further right angle and lowered to the ground for laying the turf as the tractor advances.
