That's one pallet. Stack it off by hand. Some people really shouldn't be in business for themselves!

Reread the post the OP stated 40,000 sq ft. That is 80 standard pallets of sod. You unload that by hand.

Off the semi? By hand? Don't think so. I pay for delivery. Pablo (real name) drops down the loader from the back of the purpose built sod trailer. Unloads the pallet and drops it right where I want so I don't take more than a few steps to lay it. Pablo hooks the loader back up, waves and leaves in minutes.

I know superstar. I can picture you trying though. Flinging sod like a frisbee. Like I said the guy probably bid .25 a foot, got it and is now screwed on how to actually do it.

YOU read it, he says 400-500 sq ft. I'm not sure he knows what he's talking about. Prolly a lot like newjerseylandscaping kid. How many companys that can handle a 40k ft sod job don't have a skid? Or won't pay delivery. It doesn't add up.

I wouldnt mind spending the money on the machine I just cant afford something to pricey right now. I know there are some cheap piggy backs, moffetts and bobcat out there does anyone have any ideas or advice?

Thanks a ton. I have about 40,000 sq ft lines up and am sick of paying high dollar from local sod places.
Thanks

Read above. One standard pallet is 400-500 sq ft. He goes on to say he has 40,000 sq ft lined up. By my math that is 80 to 100 pallets

I'd go into cardiac arrest after the first 10k sq ft.

Yo Guys

It isn't just unloading the 18 Wheeler that you need heavy equipment for. SPOTTING IN of the pallets can save a ton of work if done properly.
