The Billy Goat SC181K Hydro-Drive Sod Cutter is engineered for professional turf renovation, delivering clean, consistent cuts with minimal effort. Its self-propelled hydrostatic transmission provides variable speed control in forward and reverse, letting operators match cutting speed to soil conditions.
