Turf Cutter

The CAMON TC07 Turf Cutter is a robust and easy-to-operate machine designed for efficiently removing turf in preparation for landscaping, groundworks and lawn renovation. Its gearbox-driven rear wheels provide reliable traction, allowing it to maintain forward movement even in challenging ground conditions.

The cutting depth can be easily adjusted between 10mm and 35mm, while the reversible hardened steel blade helps extend its working life. A reliable centrifugal clutch prevents the blade from operating at engine idle, and the anti-vibration handlebar mounting improves operator comfort during use.

The Reason

Why Choose Hirelink for Turf Cutter Hire in the Midlands?

A turf cutter lifts a full 30cm strip in a single walking pass, so a lawn that would take a weekend to dig out by hand can be cleared in a morning. You just guide it in straight lines and roll the strips up behind.

The TC07’s positive gear drive powers the rear wheels and keeps the machine moving forward on clay, damp ground and uneven lawns. You steer and control the blade with a single lever; the engine does the work.

A hand wheel sets the cutting depth anywhere from 10mm to 35mm. Cut shallow if you want to re-lay the turf elsewhere, or deeper to take out the roots before a patio, path or artificial lawn goes down.

The cutting blade is made from Hardox hardened steel and can be turned round to use the other edge. That keeps every hire cutting cleanly. Anti-vibration handlebars make it more comfortable to guide over a full day.

If you’re breaking up soil to plant or seed, a rotavator is the better tool, and we’ll say so. If you need to remove turf and keep the ground level for a base or new lawn, the turf cutter is the right choice.

Hirelink has depots in Sutton Coldfield (Boldmere), Lichfield, Aldridge and near Birmingham Airport. If the turf cutter is out at one branch, we can check the others and move stock between them.

The Return

Turf Lifter Hire: What You Get

A turf cutter, also called a turf lifter, sod cutter or turf remover, is a walk-behind machine with a flat steel blade that slices horizontally under the grass at a set depth. The blade separates the turf and its roots from the soil below, leaving a continuous strip you can roll up and carry away. What’s left is bare, level soil, ready for whatever comes next.

The Camon TC07 we hire is powered by a Honda GX160 petrol engine. It cuts a 30cm wide strip, with depth set by a hand wheel between 10mm and 35mm. A single lever engages and disengages the blade, and the positive gear drive powers the rear wheels. The machine weighs 93kg and measures 128cm long, 54cm wide and 102cm high.

Common uses include clearing an old lawn before laying a patio, decking or shed base, removing grass before installing artificial turf, stripping a worn lawn before re-turfing, lifting good turf to move it to another part of the garden, creating new flower beds and borders, and cutting a clean line through grass for drainage, cable or irrigation trenches. Homeowners, gardeners, landscapers, groundworkers and grounds maintenance teams hire them most.

A turf cutter removes the top layer only. It doesn’t dig or break up the soil below. For that, follow on with a rotavator, or a mini digger for a deeper excavation.

Hiring makes more sense than buying for almost everyone. Most people need a turf cutter for one job every few years, and it’s a heavy machine to store. Hiring gets you a serviced machine with a sharp blade, and you hand it back when the lawn’s gone.

The Difference

Turf Cutter, Rotavator or Digging by Hand: Which Do You Need?

Turf Cutter (Camon TC07)

Slices under the grass and lifts it in 30cm strips, leaving the soil below level and undisturbed. The right choice when you want the turf gone, or want to re-lay it, before a patio, path, shed base, artificial grass or new lawn.

Digging by Hand

A spade or turfing iron works for a few square metres, but it’s slow, hard on the back and the strips come out uneven. Fine for a small border; a turf cutter quickly pays off on anything bigger.

 

Rotavator

Churns the turf and soil together to break up and loosen the ground. The right choice for preparing beds and vegetable plots or seeding a new lawn, but it mixes grass roots into the soil and leaves the ground soft and uneven. Hirelink hires a hydraulic rotavator.

Mini Digger

Digs and moves large volumes of soil for foundations, driveways and big landscaping jobs. Overkill for just lifting turf, and it leaves the ground disturbed. Use it after the turf cutter if you need to dig deeper.

The Process

How to Hire a Turf Cutter from Hirelink

Measure the Lawn and Check Access

Work out roughly how big the area is and check the route from your van or drive to the lawn, including gates and steps. If the ground is bone dry, water it a day or two before; if it’s waterlogged, wait for it to drain.

Confirm Booking and Collection

Call your nearest depot to check availability and get a quote. Trade account holders just confirm the booking. New customers bring photo ID and a refundable deposit. Bring a van or trailer and a second person, or ask about delivery.

Cut, Roll and Return

Set the depth, engage the blade and walk the machine in straight lines, overlapping slightly. Roll the strips up as you go and cut them into manageable lengths with a spade. Return the machine clean on your agreed date and we’ll inspect it before its next hire.

A turf cutter is a petrol machine with a flat blade that slices under the grass roots and lifts the turf in strips, leaving bare, level soil. It’s the quickest way to remove a lawn before a patio, artificial grass or new turf.

The Camon TC07 cuts from 10mm to 35mm deep, set with a hand wheel. Go shallower if you want to re-lay the turf, and deeper to take out more roots before a base or artificial lawn.

Each pass lifts a strip 30cm wide. Cut it into lengths with a spade as you roll it up, so each roll is easy to lift and carry.

Yes. It’s self-propelled, so you don’t have to push it; you just steer and use one lever to engage the blade. It is heavy to turn at the end of each run, so take your time and keep your feet clear of the blade. Read the instructions supplied before you start.

If the ground is very dry and hard, water it a day or two before so the blade cuts cleanly. Don’t cut waterlogged ground, as the machine will slip and the turf will tear.

Yes, if it’s healthy. Cut at a shallow depth, keep the rolls damp and shaded, and re-lay them as soon as you can, ideally the same or next day.

The TC07 weighs 93kg and won’t fit in a car. You’ll need a van or trailer and two people or ramps to load it safely. Ask about delivery if you can’t move it yourself.

It handles normal garden lawns, including gentle slopes and bumpy ground, thanks to the geared drive. Work across gentle slopes with care and avoid steep banks. Clear stones, roots and debris first, as they can damage the blade.

Stack rolls grass side down in a corner of the garden and they’ll rot down into good topsoil within a year or so. Otherwise, take them to your local recycling centre or hire a skip. Check your council’s rules on garden waste.

Wear safety boots, gloves and hearing protection. Keep children and pets well away while the machine is running.

Trade customers with a Hirelink account just confirm the booking. Homeowners and DIY customers need photo ID, such as a driving licence, and a refundable deposit.
