Functional Specifications

2WD Rear-Wheel Drive for Flat and Regular Terrains 

The rear-wheel drive of the Active 2WD sod cutter ensures direct thrust from the rear wheels, making the machine effective and stable on flat surfaces and regular terrain. This configuration offers an excellent balance between performance and ease of use, keeping the machine light and maneuverable. Thanks to the 2WD drive, the operator can rely on good traction during turf cutting and lifting, with precise control even in confined spaces. Rear-wheel drive is designed for terrains where the work is less complex and where the sod cutter does not require additional pushing.

Honda GX 200 Engine

Both the Active AC 300 2WD and Active AC 390 2WD models are powered by the Honda GX200 engine, known for its reliability, low maintenance, and ability to work for extended periods under stress. With a power output of 5.5 HP (4.1 kW) and an engine displacement of 196 cc, this engine ensures continuous and regular cutting, perfect for professional use. It is ideal for tackling turf of various sizes and conditions, thanks also to its high torque that ensures excellent performance even when the ground offers resistance.

Made in Italy Aluminum Gearbox

The two-speed forward aluminum gearbox is another distinctive feature of the Active 2WD Sod Cutter. Entirely produced in Italy, it is designed to withstand intense stress, impacts, and corrosion. The use of aluminum ensures lightness without compromising robustness, allowing the operator to adjust the machine's speed according to specific terrain needs. The precision of the gearbox allows for total control, making every operation safer and more effective.

Anti-vibration Handlebar

This professional Active sod cutter features a handlebar with an anti-vibration system. The 4 integrated rubber bushings significantly reduce vibrations transmitted to the operator, improving comfort during use. This feature is particularly useful for prolonged work, where physical fatigue can compromise work quality. Thanks to this solution, the user experience is smoother, more controlled, and more pleasant, even on hard or stony surfaces.

Heat-Treated Blade for Precise Cutting

The blade of the AC 300 2WD and Active AC 390 2WD Sod Cutters is made of high-quality steel and undergoes a heat treatment that increases its hardness and wear resistance. This results in a consistent and precise cutting capacity, even after many hours of use. The working depth is set at 35 mm, ideal for removing turf without damaging the underlying layers, allowing for perfect repositioning of the sod or laying of a new one.

Ideal for Lawn Maintenance and Green Care

The Active 2WD Sod Cutter is the ideal tool for those involved in green care, lawn maintenance, and weed removal from gravel paths. Thanks to its advanced technology, quality materials, and extreme ease of use, it proves to be a reliable and high-performing solution, even in the most demanding contexts. Replacing sod, temporarily moving turf, or preparing the ground for work is finally simpler, faster, and more precise.
