Offering class leading durability, this top end sod cutter from US engineering giants Billy Goat will appeal to commercial landscapers and professional field archaeologists looking for an always ready machine that will take the rigours of intensive, every day use in its stride!

That rock solid durability is thanks to a multitude of factors, including a rugged cast iron gearbox with sealed bearings and a one inch lateral stability bar; a 3/8 inch steel substructure with 1/2 inch steel reinforcement; and a heavy-duty transmission with a 1.25inch plated tapered axle and an armour plated chain.

The Billy Goat SC181HEU features a hydrostatic drive; a premium attribute that provides infinitely variable ground speed control in both forward and reverse gears, thereby maximising manoeuvrability and ensuring precision results (adjustment is via a convenient handlebar-mounted lever).

It boasts multiple oversized isolation mounts that cut vibration-transfer for long hours of low fatigue operation; and it’s fitted with a rear castor wheel that means you’ll have no trouble following curving lines (the wheel can be locked for straight-line work).

Delivering a punch packing 4.3hp is a 163cc Honda GXV160 four-stroke air-cooled engine with the world famous Japanese manufacturer’s efficiency optimising and noise reducing OHV technology; and their automatic decompression system that drastically lessens the pulling power needed to fire it up.

A cast-iron cylinder lining and dual-element air-filter mean you can be sure of excellent long term reliability; while a bearing supported crankshaft works to minimise vibration and component wear. The Billy Goat SC181HEU Hydrostatic Sod-Cutter features Billy’s Set and Forget blade adjustment system, whereby a single lever placed directly to makes it quick and easy to select your preferred blade-setting.

An hour-metre makes it simple to keep track of service requirements; while a series of six tie-down points facilitates safe and secure trailer transport. Also important is the vented housing that cools the transmission for a longer working-life; and the unique drive-wheels which have been specially designed to shed mud for high-grip traction in adverse conditions.
