Built upon the most rugged foundation in the industry, the Billy Goat 18" Hydro-Drive Sod Cutter features an enhanced superstructure frame with 50 more pounds of steel than previous generations. This reinforced design supports a robust drive and cut system that stands up to the most demanding environments. Despite its heavy-duty build, the unit remains remarkably easy to operate and comfortable to use. With intuitive controls and variable ground speeds in both forward and reverse, it delivers smooth handling that eliminates the jerky movements of traditional mechanical units.
Whether your job is Golf, Municipal, Sports Turf, Landscaping, Flatwork, Hardscape, or Irrigation — the "Set and Forget" blade depth adjustment lets you switch between precise cutting depths up to 2.5" instantly. It's the professional's choice for maximum productivity without operator fatigue.
Features
Superstructure Frame 50% thicker 3/8" steel substructure and a 1/2" thick steel lateral support reinforces frame rigidity.
