Normally you want to ensure the blade angle is set to flat and the depth is roughly 20mm deep.
Regarding this, how easy is it to use a turf cutter?
Starting The Turf Cutter
- Switch the engine ignition switch to the 'ON' position.
- Next turn the fuel tap, which is located on the engines carburettor, to the 'ON' position.
- Slowly pull the engines recoil handle until you feel it engage then with a firm grip on the machine pull briskly until the engine starts.
Correspondingly, how do you dig up turf?
Water the grass well the day before you plan to start digging so the soil is soft and the roots are easier to tear away. Use a shovel, garden hoe and pitchfork to lift and remove the grass, digging a few inches below the surface to ensure you remove as many roots as possible so the grass does not return.
Generally, to hire a turf cutter for 1 full day (24 hours) it will cost from $140 to $160 per day and $430 to $460 per week.
