An ambulatory apparatus cuts sod from a sod field in a continuous strip and includes a reciprocating cutting head assembly mounted substantially at the forward end of the apparatus. A conveying means conveys the strip cut by the cutting head assembly interiorly of and to the rear of the apparatus and into contact with a flail which strikes off excess attached soil from the underside of the soil strip. A severing apparatus cuts the sod strip into sod pads of a preselected size and a folding device folds the severed sod pads prior to same being placed on a pallet supporting area located at the rear of the apparatus.
