We changed out our old machines at around five years because they had reached the end of their lifecycle. We were also looking at reducing maintenance costs to keep the fleet operating with minimal expenditure.
they also bring a number of performance benefits to the jobs they undertake.
For example, residents will have noticed previously that clippings had been left after they had cut the grass in the parks and on verges, particularly after gang
mowers. The latest Major MJ71- 400 Roller Mower is designed to pulverise the grass clippings and forced them back into the turf, therefore avoiding unsightly clumps of grass clippings. With a 4.0m working width and folding wings offering a transport width of just 1.90 metres, the MJ71-400 will cover the ground quickly at up to 11.4 acres an hour, and with its six rotors and 12 blades, traveling at 75 metres / second, grass clippings don’ t stand much of a chance.
Like all Major mowers, the MJ71 Roller Mower is built using Strenx 700 MC, which is a high performance, light weight steel, much stronger than ordinary mowers. Likewise they are hot-dip galvanised so will give long-life with anti-corrosion benefits.
By upgrading to the Major MJ71-400 Roller Mowers, Leeds City Council has not only modernised its fleet but also ensured long-term efficiency, durability and cost savings. With their robust build, advanced cutting performance and low-maintenance design, these machines will help the council continue delivering high-quality green space management for the community, while maximising value from their investment.
