This disclosure relates to an improved system and method for harvesting sod. Specifically, the sod harvester can comprise a blade set and a cutter frame. The blade set can comprise an inner blade, a middle blade, and an outer blade. The middle blade can harvest a first grass strip from a second grass strip. The cutter frame can lift the first grass strip and the second grass strip from the ground, as the cutter frame can be in direct line with the blades.
