Testimonials

"You can be rough with it"

A reason we got the Major Cyclone mower is because it’s tough. We bought it for the staff to tidy up pastures and doing the topping. You can be rough with it and it’ll just push the roughness to one side and just keep cutting.

Tom Grant, Grant Farms, Bay of Plenty, New Zealand

"This machine is going to last"

You need something that can take the tough work. It can’t be flimsy; it has to be able to take a bit of punishment. The sheet metal is folded forward and the hot-dip galvanising makes the Major Cyclone real strong and robust – this machine is going to last! 

John ‘The Bull’ Hayes, Hereford Beef farmer & ABP-Irish Hereford Prime Ambassador, Co. Limerick,

"Far better than we are used to"

The design and construction of the Contoura is far advanced over anything else on the market. It doesn’t have a belt-drive, which always seems to be the weakest part of a mower. Instead, it’s gear-driven and therefore handles even heavy grass with ease. The Major Contoura leaves a perfectly striped and even finish - far better than we were used to. 

Richard Thompson, Head Green-keeper, Ballybofey & Stranorlar Golf Club

"Low maintenance and easy to use"

It’s very strong, reliable, very well built, low maintenance, and easy to use. It cost less than a used batwing, hardly has any maintenance costs, and takes a lot less fuel to power it. It’s turned out to be the perfect solution to all our topping and maintenance needs.

Peter Wombwell, Wombwell Farms, Saffron Walden, UK
