No trouble to resod with a Ryan Jr. sod cutter

^P It's only an hour's job to replace worn-out turf on a tee or other area that's taken a beating from long week- ends or tournament play. Take a few minutes to remove the old sod, fertilize the bare spot, and then, with a special tilling attachment on the RYAN JR, pulverize two to three inches of top soil before resodding. (This operation thoroughly mixes the fertilizer and pre- pares the area for new sod.) You can always be sure that sod cut with a RYAN JR will be of uniform thick- ness and have clean-cut edges that will heal quickly and leave no unsightly wars.
