New here but been reading for a long time. Lots of great ideas and looking to share some of my own projects. I was hoping someone had some idea of how to build a scalper. They are used to prepare sites for tree planting. It cuts the grass off the surface almost like a roll of sod. I haven't seen one myself, mostly read about them and no good pictures to copy something from. If anyone has a piece of equipment that does this I would greatly appreciate seeing a picture. Or if you have built something for yourself, I would like some ideas to build on. I have almost achieved the result with a single furrow plow but depth control is a problem and I would like to have about a 16" wide path of de-grassed soil. The grass should flip upside down to one side, or two equal pieces flipping to each side. I imagine a boomerang shapped blade with depth control and curved mould boards to flip the sod.
