Sod removal sled.

[machiningfool]

OK, no pictures today, but I have made some progress. By the looks of things, I will have to increase the angle of the blade and sharpen it. The blade is not going deep enough and not lowering enough to contact the sled runners. I added three concrete blocks for weight and I think I will have to move some weight to the rear. Traction does not seem to be a problem, as the it will pull forward with it being just above idle, so I believe that I can add much more weight and when I sharpen the blade and get it to go below the roots, it will behave like a sod cutter, we shall see. I will do that tomorrow and try it out again. Moving the blade to the rear solved the problem of sod build up and when the cutter goes deeper, that won't be a problem. Bob.
