I've hired a camon turf cutter, didn't have any problems with it cut it up nicely didn't jam. But it was nice and dry and was on fine soil so I suppose it was on ideal conditions.
Used turf cutters in both dry and wet no bother with them. What I would say is how much do you need to lift as if less than 15m2 I would do it by hand as the cost of the hire would not make it economical.
"couple o fit lads" :)
me and my lad lifted around 30sqm in under an hour, anything more id look at a cutter.
work out the area thats to be lifted, cut along the edges with a half moon, and then use a shovel to take of the grass
Beg, borrow or buy a turfing spade (£20-£30).
For small areas it beats all other approaches and does less damage to your back :-)
Also water area first or lift after rain. Makes it much easier ...
Chris,
Normal spades with out the bit for youre foot to grip on. I keep all my tools sharp with an angle grinder, you could shave with them!
Why are you stripping the turf? Might look fancy to the ignorant but it's pointless,
Apply herbicide and a week later dig/invert with a spade or rotovate if too large to dig.
