SC12 Features & Benefits
Performance
4
Precision Cutting up to 2.5 Inches Deep
Efficiently complete the job with Bobcat sod cutters. You can cut sod up to 2.5 inches thick at a width of 12 inches.
Honda GX160 Gas Engine
The Honda GX160 engine provides the durablility and reliability you need for daily sod-cutting duties. The engine is easy starting, fuel efficient and ideal for heavy-duty, sod-cutting applications.
Angled Blade Versatility
In heavy, challenging soils, you can increase the blade angle up to 10 degrees, which helps maintain optimal ground contact for efficient cutting.
Cast-Iron Turf Tread Wheels
Turf tread wheels provide the traction you need to efficiently dig into sod while minimizing turf tearing and damage.
Durability & Uptime Protection
3
Signature Cast-Iron Gearbox
Meticulously engineered for superior strength and durability, the cast-iron gearbox is built to last and designed for maximum uptime.
Sturdy Front Bumper
A tough front bumper guards your machine as you lean it forward for the cut; it also protects from unexpected contact with jobsite obstacles.
Optional Laser-Clad Blade
The reinforced edge of a laser-clad blade keeps its shape longer, sharpening itself as it wears down. Depending on working conditions, it can last up to 2.5 times longer than a standard blade. It’s a must-have for abrasive, sandy soils.
