An apparatus for cutting grooves in a ground surface includes a wheeled vehicle with a tool carrier connected to the wheeled vehicle. The tool carrier is rotatable about an axis parallel to the direction of travel of the vehicle and perpendicular to the direction of travel of the vehicle. A grinding tool for cutting grooves in a ground surface is rotatably mounted to the tool carrier. The grinding tool may be movable laterally relative to the vehicle. A rotatable cam is configured so that rotation of the cam causes pivotal movement of the tool carrier relative to the forward frame. Rotation of the cam moves the grinding tool into and out of engagement with the ground surface.
