Abstract/Contents: | "The sod-transplanter RG609 developed by KUBOTA Inc. was incorporated to this research's sod production system. After investigating the application of the sod-transplant RG609 on convetional sods, the transplanting experiments of Urethane-foam sods by RG609 were conducted. The experimental results showed clearly several advantages of urethane-foam sod comparing to the conventional one. (1) Transplantation precision has been improved. (2) Labor strength of sod-providing operators was lowered. (3) Labor environment was improved. One problem that should be solved was of a sod-roll on the landing plate of the sod-transplanter. The stickiness measurement's results shows that Teflon had the smallest stickiness and Stainless steel had the greatest one for the same sod, and the urethane-foam sod had greater stickiness than conventional sod for the same material. Furthermore, the date suggested that attention should be paid to the urethane-foam characteristics, when designing a sod transplanter of the other machines handling urethane-foam sod. It can be concluded that several constructive suggestions have been obtained from this study. Thus, it could be expected that this study's results would contribute to develop a more efficient sod producing and transplanting system." |
