Winged, Trailed
The Major MJTDR-490 is a multipurpose low-maintenance trailed rotary mower designed to manage parklands, sports pitches and semi-rough golf course grass with a striped, professional finish. Built for tractors in the 65 to 100HP range, it covers 4.90m in a single pass at 12.15 acres per hour, making it a practical and efficient choice for local authorities, golf courses and large sports ground operators.
What sets the Tri-Deck apart from conventional wide-area mowers is its three-point pivot frame. The three cutting decks pivot independently, gliding over undulating ground to deliver a consistent, even finish without scalping, regardless of surface variation. Each deck runs independently on its own axis, meaning the machine follows the land rather than fighting against it.
The cutting rotors carry two 5mm blades of optimum hardness and strength. These blades are synchronised to rotate in opposite directions and overlap each other by 75mm. Combined with high blade tip speeds of 76 m/s, all vegetation is finely cut and evenly dispersed on every pass, leaving a cylinder-quality striped result from a rotary machine.
Built from high-performance Strenx 700 MC structural steel, lighter yet stronger than conventional mild steel, and fully galvanised to protect your investment. A remote control unit allows full operation from the tractor cab at the touch of a button.
Backed by a 3-year Major warranty and available from Cambrian Plant Sales, authorised Major Equipment dealer for Wales and South UK, with genuine spare parts dispatched next day.

Why Choose the Major MJTDR-490?
The Tri-Deck range is chosen by operators who need a wide-area mower that can handle undulating ground without compromising finish quality. The three-point pivot frame solves the problem that conventional rigid-deck mowers face on uneven terrain: scalping on high points and missed grass in hollows. On parks, golf rough and sports ground outfields where the ground is rarely perfectly flat, this makes a measurable difference to the end result.
The gear-driven driveline and Strenx steel construction keep maintenance requirements low and working life long. The remote control unit is a practical feature for solo operators managing large sites. The wider cutting height range of 10 to 140mm adds genuine year-round versatility.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Tri-Deck different from a standard winged roller mower?
The three-point pivot frame allows each of the three decks to move independently and follow the ground contours. On undulating terrain this prevents scalping and delivers a more consistent finish than a conventional rigid-deck machine.
What tractor HP is needed for the MJTDR-490? 65 to 100HP at 540 PTO rpm.
What is the cutting height range? 10mm to 140mm, which is wider than most roller mowers and supports a broader range of seasonal and application-specific cutting requirements.
Can the rear deck be used independently? Yes. The rear deck can be removed and used independently of the wing sections. The wings can also be operated independently.
