Zusammenfassung:Means for gathering rolls of sod from the ground. The rolls are in spaced rows and the rolls of each row are separated by substantial distances. The rolls of each row have their axes parallel to the direction of advance of said gathering means. The gathering means comprise at least one leading roll having its axis substantially transverse the direction of advance of the machine as a whole. This roll is continually rotated so that its lowermost surface advances in the direction of advance of the machine as a whole. An inclined conveyor is mounted on the machine and receives rolls of sod which are progressively lifted from the ground by said first-named roll and delivered to said conveyor. Means are provided at the upper end of the conveyor for presenting the rolls gathered to workmen stationed on the accompanying vehicle.
