Ryan 544954C 18" Jr Sod Cutter

A WHOLE NEW WAY TO CUT

Legendary performance meets new transmission technology for easier-to-control, smoother, more stable sod cutting. The Jr. Sod Cutter – Hydro’s innovative hydrostatic, variable-speed transmission lets you power through the cut while its heavy-duty, long-lasting cast-iron gear case and hydraulic cooling system stand up to the toughest demands—whether you’re lifting and relocating sod for landscaped areas or establishing shrub and flower beds.

• Powerful Hydrostatic Transmission: A specifically designed hydraulic cooling system and Hydro-Gear® BDU transmission turns up the power without sacrificing any of the legendary durability you expect from a RYAN.
• Intuitive Controls: A user-friendly, color-coded interface makes it easy to adjust things like blade depth and angle for precise cutting no matter the soil condition-all without fumbling around complicated controls
• Pneumatic Swiveling Rear Wheel: Unlock the pneumatic rear caster wheel to easily-and tightly-maneuver around landscaping, then lock it for unmatched precision on the straightways.
• Ultra-Low Vibration Technology: A rubber isolation mount absorbs shock and machine vibration before it ever reaches your hands.

• Go Wide: Get more done in less time by taking advantage of the extra 33.3% cutting width of the 24’’ model (18’’ model also available).
• Variable Speeds (Forward and Reverse): Go where you need, without having to muscle around, with both forward and reverse settings.
• Optional Blade With Laser Cladding: Replace cutting blades less often with optional laser cladded blades where a welded metallugircal bond enhances wear resistance for long-lasting performance (only available on the 18" model)
