Description

Classen PRO SC-18A – Built to Cut. Made to Glide.

1. 1-3/8” Cutting Stroke – Up to 50% Longer Than Competitors

The extended cutting stroke allows for deeper, more aggressive sod separation in a single pass. This dramatically improves sod removal efficiency by reducing the number of passes required and producing cleaner, more consistent cuts—even in tough or compacted soil. It saves time, reduces physical strain, and delivers a superior prep surface for laying turf, pavers, or beds.

2. Four Front Knobby Tread Drive Wheels

These wheels offer high-traction performance while preventing dirt buildup. This results in more stable and controlled machine operation, especially on uneven or wet terrain. The consistent grip ensures clean, accurate cuts and increases safety, particularly when navigating slopes or challenging work areas.

3. Wheel Drive Lever for Easy Reverse Unloading

The integrated wheel drive lever allows the machine to back out of a truck or trailer with minimal effort. This greatly simplifies loading and unloading, especially when working alone or in tight spaces. It minimizes physical effort, reduces the risk of strain or injury, and speeds up job setup and takedown time, which is ideal for commercial landscapers on the move.

The Classen SC-18A/5.5 Sod Cutter features a powerful Honda GX160 engine, gear-drive transmission, and delivers 1,200 cutting strokes per minute with a 1-3/8" cutting stroke—50% longer than competitors. Standard with an 18” blade, it offers optional sizes up to 24”. Four knobby tread wheels ensure superior traction and prevent dirt build-up, while an optional rear swivel wheel enhances maneuverability. A convenient wheel drive lever makes unloading from trucks or trailers easy. For safety, the throttle returns to idle and halts movement when released. Built tough and efficient, this sod cutter makes fast, precise work of any turf removal job.
