Turf Slitter

The BMS Turf Slitter is one of those tools you’ll be glad to have in the shed. It’s designed for one job: cutting clean, consistent strips of turf for repairs, patching, or re-levelling. Whether you’re sorting out a worn area on a tee, tidying up turf edges, or need to lift a section to access irrigation, this tool makes it a quick and easy process.

The design is simple but effective. The sharp, durable blade slices through the turf, while the two integrated skids glide along the surface, ensuring a consistent cutting depth of around 20mm. This consistency is crucial – it means you can lift out a damaged section and drop in a new piece, confident that it will sit perfectly level. No more guesswork or uneven patches.

Built in our UK workshop, the Turf Slitter is a solid piece of kit made to handle daily use. It’s a practical, no-nonsense tool that helps you get the job done right, saving you time and effort on those small but important turf maintenance tasks.

FAQ

Q: What is the exact cutting depth?

A: The skids are designed to maintain a consistent depth of approximately 20mm (just under an inch), which is ideal for most turf repair work.

Q: Is the blade replaceable?

A: Yes, the blade is a replaceable component. Please contact us for spare parts.

Q: Can I use this for edging bunkers?

A: While it can cut turf, for creating sharp, defined edges we’d recommend our dedicated Heavy Duty Turf Edging Tool (SKU 20010). This tool is best for lifting strips.
