The TC4GCO is a Guillotine Chop Off attachment which can be fitted to the TMC48 Turf Sod Cutter to measure and cut the sod in lengths for easy handling and for relaying purposes. The attachment is power driven by an auxillary sprocket on the TMC48 Turf Cutter to the chop activation clutch on the attachment. Chop Blades are available in 30, 35, 40, 45, 50 and 60cm widths. The chop length is adjustable to cut sod from 1metre to 5 metres long. Raising and lowering in and out of cut is gas-spring assisted via a caster wheel frame which stabilises and supports the machine in the raised position.

The Groundsman TC4GCO Guillotine chop-off attachment is available for fitting to the TMC48 Turf Sod Cutter. This attachment is simple in construction, compact and user friendly with low hand-arm vibration levels (HAV). Raising and lowering in and out of cut is gas-spring assisted with a caster-wheel safety frame stabilising and supporting the machine in the raised out of work position.
The Guillotine attachment bolts to the accessory mounting plate on the rear of the TMC48 machine and is chain driven from the cutter blade drive shaft on the Sod Cutter. The chop blade mechanism is simple and easily accessible, it uses sealed bearings throughout for durability with minimum maintenence.
An adjustable metering wheel measures the forward travel activating a rolling key chop activation clutch giving an instant and positive engagement to the crank driven guillotine mechanism for maximum chop efficiency and accuracy. The cut lengths can be adjusted infinitely from one to five metres. The chop blade depth is adjustable to 6cm, the cutting edge is designed for maximum penetration with minimum impact.
The mechanism indicates when the chop blade is about to activate, this safety feature also serves to enable the operator to commence cutting when the chop blade is ready to activate to minimise wastage.
