摘要

A sod harvesting apparatus for stacking cut sod wherein the cut sod is formed into rolls (38) at a rolling station carried by a machine and wherein alternating first and second series of rolls (38) are conveyed in a first direction relative to a stacking station so as to form in the stacking station alternating first and second layers of rolls (38) which are oriented generally perpendicukarly to one another and wherein the rolls (38) in each layer are oriented generally parallell with respect to one another. The second series of rolls (38) are partially rotated approximately 90 DEG as they are conveyed to the stacking station so the second series of rolls (38) are oriented generally perpendicularly with respecy to the first series of rolls (38). The apparatus includes a wrapping device which is movable with respect to the stacking station so as to be maneuverable about the layers of sod rolls (38) which are formed within the stacking station.
