Sod Installer
Features
This sod installer features a tighter turning radius, a longer life span for its bearings, a heavy-duty frame, and a Kubota diesel engine. Hydraulic clamps let the arms pick up a big roll without the need for a rod, meaning the operator never has to get off to manually change it. With the light kit option, you can use the sod installer even after dark.
Flotation tires allow for fewer pounds per square foot, creating less impact on the soil. The most convenient option is the finger-touch controls on the upgraded handle. The buttons control the hydraulic clamps and tension control and allow the operator to have all the controls needed at their fingertips, without removing the hand.
Need to load it onto a truck? The Magnum Installer can be picked up with a forklift and lifted onto the truck quickly and easily. Trailer? The front wheels rotate inward, so the installer can fit on a standard-size utility trailer. Just lift the arm, rotate the wheel, lower the arm, and pin shut, and you are ready to start installing.

Equipment Made to Last
At Magnum ENP, we understand the importance of quality equipment. Our business began out in the sod fields—as farmers ourselves, we know that you can’t afford to deal with equipment that’s always breaking down and failing.
When you need something done, you need it done right the first time around. That’s why our team prides itself on offering effective equipment that lasts.
One of the biggest advantages of the A-Series sod installer is the durable and long-lasting parts.
For instance, the A-Series Sod Installer boasts a heavy-duty frame and long-lasting bearings, so while you’re out in the elements, installing new turf, you don’t have to worry about being overly gentle with your machines. You don’t need a fragile device that breaks down—you need a hearty workhorse.
But we don’t believe you need to choose between industrial-strength equipment and convenient operation.
The A-Series installer isn’t unwieldy and cumbersome. We built this device because we wanted to make the sod installation process simpler than ever. This is a compact machine, weighing in at about 2600 pounds, that can hit top speeds of 10 miles per hour. And because of the machine’s tight maneuverability, you can load it onto a trailer with ease.
With the A-Series sod installer, farmers can also install larger rolls of sod without fear of damaging the turf below.
Developing the ideal sod installer can, at times, be a tightrope walk. Machines should be simple, intuitive, and convenient to operate, but too often, that results in a product that can’t hold up for the intense work that the agricultural industry requires.
When you choose machines from Magnum ENP, you aren’t just working with high-quality equipment; you’re using equipment designed by professionals who understand your industry’s hyper-specific needs. Put simply, this is a heavy-duty machine built for sod farmers, by sod farmers.
Advancements in Agricultural Tech
The agricultural industry is one of the oldest in human history, but that doesn’t mean we should stop innovating. Our team members use their experience in the sod farming field to predict what farmers need and design tools to match.
By taking advantage of new developments in agricultural technology, our team at Magnum ENP has worked to make the sod installation process simpler and more efficient for farmers everywhere. No piece of technology highlights these advancements more than our A-Series sod installer. This machine has a number of features that help it stand out from other sod installers on the market.
With a tighter turning radius and the formidable Kubota diesel engine, farmers don’t have to worry whether the A-Series installer will meet their needs. This machine can handle all kinds of jobs, from everyday tasks to large-scale projects.
Another advantage of this design is the specialized hydraulic clamps. These clamps allow operators to change sod rolls without getting off the machine and swapping them out manually, so you can make the most of valuable time. The A-Series Installer allows you to keep installing sod, so you can meet your project deadlines and get on to the next stage of the job.
When some of our prospective clients hear about the technological advancements included in the A-Series installer, they worry the machine will feel too complicated. Many farmers want a piece of equipment that is intuitive and easy to use.
Fortunately, our team knows the difference between advanced and confusing. With touch controls, users can operate the hydraulic clamps with the simple flick of a finger.
The A-Series sod installer also uses flotation tires, which evenly disperse the machine’s weight, resulting in fewer pounds per square foot. This protects the turf while you drive over it for the most polished results, making it the preferred choice for sports field managers.
The Benefits of Natural Sod Over Synthetic Turf
One reason our team at Magnum ENP wanted to create a durable, reliable, and convenient sod installation method is that we believe that real sod outperforms synthetic turf in almost every way.
While we love providing high-quality equipment for sod farmers, we also work with a variety of different clients from all different industries and backgrounds. Developers and site planners love our A-Series sod installer because it makes choosing genuine turf simpler. The same goes for sports-stadium developers—with our A-Series sod installer, they can install real turf for their athletes, so they can enjoy all the benefits of playing on genuine grass.
So what makes natural turf the ideal choice over synthetic turf? There are many reasons.
For one, synthetic turf contains harmful chemicals, and as people walk and run over it, it can release those chemicals into the air. In contrast, there are a number of health benefits to being around real plants. Touching grass has physical and psychological benefits, so if you’re a developer looking to create the best experience for your visitors, then you should consider installing real grass.
Synthetic turf is also a worse choice for athletic play. Because artificial turf retains more heat than regular grass, it feels uncomfortable (or, depending on the temperature and time of year, dangerous) for athletes to use. Balls also travel more effectively over real grass, since synthetic turf can interrupt a ball’s momentum and make its movements less predictable.
Additionally, real turf offers players more cushion as they travel over it. Synthetic turf naturally has less give, which can result in strain and injury.
The Ideal Choice for Family Farmers
Another reason to choose Magnum ENP for your new sod installer: We understand the needs of family farmers. We started our business as a family of sod farmers, and in many ways, nothing has changed. If you work with a business without a farming background, they don’t understand the specific intricacies of the agricultural experience.
Not only does our equipment provide quality results through convenient methods, but we also provide custom support options. Even after you’ve purchased a piece of Magnum equipment, you can receive help from our sod installation experts.
Getting started with a new piece of farming equipment, even one as simple and intuitive as the A-Series sod installer, requires a bit of work. It’s like getting used to the specifics of a new car—you may not immediately know how to set the cruise control, but soon, it’ll become second nature.
That said, you don’t need to go through the learning process on your own. If you want some help with your new Magnum ENP machine, you can take advantage of our custom video resources. These videos show you how to operate and maintain your new piece of equipment, so you can get the most out of your purchase.
If you want to build an even deeper understanding of your machine, we also offer digital service manuals. When you purchase a piece of Magnum ENP equipment, you gain access to our password-protected manual page. This breaks down the interior workings of the equipment, so you can better understand how to fix and maintain it.
If you need a replacement part at any time, then we offer help with that too. You can buy Magnum ENP parts online. Just contact our team. We’ll discuss your needs, make a recommendation, and help you order the necessary parts to get your machine working in perfect order again.
Offering Equipment for Every Stage of the Process
While our A-Series sod roller helps install new turf for existing properties, developments, or even sports stadiums, it isn’t the only piece of equipment we offer.
At Magnum ENP, we provide tools for every stage of the process—from harvesting to installing. Let’s take a look at some of our sod harvesting options.
BR Big Roll Harvester
The Magnum BR big roll harvester is our classic machine. Introduced in 1991, this tried-and-true piece of machinery continues to bring benefits that farmers and agricultural professionals love. The two-conveyor system and anti-vibration cutter heads make this an ideal choice for big roll harvesting.
SR Semi-Automatic Big Roll Harvester
The Magnum SR semi-automatic big roll harvester contains all the features farmers love, made even easier. With a self-steering conveyor, a tube and net injector, and anti-vibration cutting heads, the Magnum SR makes a convenient and effective harvesting option.
SRA Automatic Big Roll Harvester
The SRA automatic big roll harvester makes it simpler for a single driver to harvest rolls of sod. This piece of equipment uses advanced automation features and a climate-controlled cab to turn any agricultural professional into a one-man harvesting machine.
SP Self-Propelled Big Roll Harvester
The SP self-propelled big roll harvester is our newest advancement in sod harvesting technology. In many ways, our 30 years of history have all led to this. The new John Deere cab is quiet, comfortable, and well-placed. The operator sits safely above the conveyors for the best view of the sod-harvesting process. There’s no other machine quite like this one.
