Winged, Three Point Linkage
The Major MJ71-540 is the widest three-point linkage model in the Swift roller mower range. With a 5.40m working width and an output of 14.9 acres per hour, it is built for high-output operations on large sports grounds, racecourses, airfields, polo grounds and expansive municipal parks where coverage rate is as important as finish quality.
Designed for tractors in the 70 to 120HP range running at 1000 PTO rpm, the MJ71-540 shares the same Strenx 700 MC structural steel construction, hot-dip galvanised finish and gearbox driveline platform as the rest of the Swift range. Eight rotors with 16 blades operate at 75 m/s blade tip speed, delivering a clean, even striped finish across the full working width on every pass.
Backed by an industry-leading 3-year Major warranty and available from Cambrian Plant Sales in South Wales, with genuine spare parts dispatched next day.
