When I've done it it has left a narrow strip, of grass, between each turf strip, so the wheels run "flat". The tractor-mounted ones used in the field don't do that :)
that is awesome evidence! Thanks ( What happened next at that site??)
A deep Pond was filled in, a few years later it had sunk, turf lifted, soil added, turf replaced. I've used the turf-cutters a few times and always been disappointed. Even standing on the back to weight it down the "blade" hit a stone, rises comes above the surface (and my soil is not very" stoney", would be worst on sites with more stones). I've only used them in Summer, might be better when the ground is moist.
you can leavethe sod till finished or leave wider strips then go back and do them after adjusting the blade as the wheels will be running on the soil at each side
Good idea - I wish I had thought of that when I did mine!
I went with this option. Leaving it all down until the end worked pretty well. (Except at the edges which got a bit chewed up.)
Running with the blades 'undropped' compensated really well for the occasional missed slither of grass after all the rolling up was done.
Cutting the turf was surprisingly easy. Barrowing it to the skip was the hard bit.
glad all went well
