Professional-Grade Construction and Power
The Billy Goat SC181HEU Sod Cutter is built on the most rugged foundation in its class, featuring a superstructure frame incorporating 23 kg of steel. This robust construction supports a powerful drive and cut system, ensuring longevity and reliability in demanding commercial environments. At its heart is the proven Honda GXV160 engine, providing 5.5hp of dependable power, backed by a 3-year warranty for peace of mind.
Advanced Hydrostatic Drive System
Equipped with a commercial-grade HydroGear RT310 hydrostatic transmission, the SC181HEU offers infinitely variable speed control. This allows operators to perfectly match the machine’s speed to the specific ground conditions, whether moving forward or in reverse. The unique paddle-style drive wheels are designed to shed mud in wet conditions and maintain a firm grip in dry weather, guaranteeing improved cutting performance across all terrains.
Operator-Focused Design and Features
Billy Goat has designed the SC181HEU with the professional user in mind. Handle isolation mounts absorb vibrations, leading to a smooth and fatigue-free operation, even during long workdays. User-friendly features include a built-in hour meter for tracking usage and maintenance, a heavy-duty front bumper bar for protection, and six conveniently located tie-down points for safe and secure transport. For servicing, three easy-access doors and vented housing provide convenient access and promote cool operation.
Precision Cutting for Any Application
This sod cutter delivers a precise 18-inch (46 cm) cut. The innovative “Set and Forget” blade depth adjustment system uses a single lever and clamp, allowing the operator to quickly and accurately set the cutting depth up to 6.3cm. A standard rear swivel caster makes following curved landscape beds effortless and can be locked into position for perfectly straight cuts. This versatility makes the Billy Goat SC181HEU a favourite choice for professionals in irrigation, landscaping, hardscaping, sports field maintenance, and flatwork.
