A Word about Quail Manufacturing:
Celebrating 70 years in business!!
Quail Manufacturing the original maker of "kick-type" manual sod cutters; was born into business in 1953, since then we have grown a reputation of quality and service with our 100% hand-crafted cutters. Quail Manufacturing is committed to supplying “eco-friendly” products to our customers, since our products are not motorized there is no “carbon footprint” from their use. There are many of the original units built in 1953 still in service today. They are built to last! There have been no shortcuts in production, to the original design, since the mid 50’s. The frames are built of 1-1/2” angle iron and the handles from 100% American grown hardwood. We use powder coat and spar-thane finishes.
At Quail Manufacturing, we still believe that the only way to guarantee quality is to source our materials in the USA. None of the supplies used to build our cutters come from outside the United States; actually most of our materials come from a 40 mile radius of our facility.
Our cutters have been enjoyed in many different markets throughout the years. The main reason our customers love our cutters is because they are so easy to use, you don’t have to be a weight lifter to easily operate our products. Some of the more popular uses are baseball and softball field maintenance, landscaping professionals, parks and recreation, cemeteries, rental stores and of course the “Do it Yourselfer”.
The only maintenance that is required to keep the cutter in tip top shape is to periodically run a draw file over the blade edge. If the cutter does ever require parts we can help you out, since the production of all the components is done in close proximity; parts are highly available with fast delivery.
Thank you for the opportunity to tell our story,
