Sod laying apparatus (20) for use with a self propelled vehicle (24). The vehicle (24) has a front end mounting mechanism (28) having an attachment engagement member (30) for releasably engaging an attachment. The attachment engagement member (30) is moveable between an attachment engagement position in which the engagement member (30) is positioned in a manner to support the attachment in a position suitable for operating the attachment, and an attachment disengagement position in which the engagement member (30) is positioned to facilitate disengagement of the engagement member from the attachment. The sod laying apparatus (20) comprises a sod unrolling unit (22) having a support mechanism (38), and a sod engagement mechanism (47, 46) connected to the support mechanism (38). The sod engagement mechanism (44, 46) is configured to engage a roll of sod (25) in a manner to facilitate rotation of the roll of sod (25) relative to the support mechanism (38). The support mechanism (38) is adapted to be releasably engaged and supported by the attachment engagement member (30) when the attachment engagement member (30) is in its engagement position and adapted to be disengaged from the attachment engagement member (30) when the attachment engagement member (30) is in its disengagement position.

L'invention concerne un appareil (20) de pose de gazon à utiliser avec un véhicule (24) automoteur. Le véhicule (24) présente un mécanisme de montage frontal (28) présentant un élément d'accouplement (30) permettant l'accouplement libérable d'une fixation. L'élément (30) peut se déplacer entre une position d'accouplement de fixation dans laquelle l'élément d'accouplement (30) est placé da manière à maintenir la fixation dans une position permettant le fonctionnement de la fixation et une position de désaccouplement de la fixation dans laquelle l'élément d'accouplement (30) est placé de manière à faciliter le désaccouplement de l'élément d'accouplement de la fixation. L'appareil (20) de pose de gazon comprend une unité (22) de déroulement de gazon présentant un mécanisme de support (38) et un mécanisme de prise (47, 46) du gazon relié au mécanisme de support (38). Le mécanisme (44, 46) de préhension du gazon est configuré de manière à engager le rouleau de gazon (25) afin de faciliter la rotation du rouleau de gazon (25) par rapport au mécanisme de support (38). Le mécanisme (38) est adapté pour être accouplé de manière libérable et supporté par l'élément (30) lorsque ledit élément (30) est en position d'accouplement et le mécanisme (38) est conçu pour être désaccouplé de l'élément (30) lorsque l'élément (30) est en position de désaccouplement.
