    What to do if Major TDR Lawn Mower discharges material unevenly?
    • V
      vlynnAug 16, 2025
      If your Major Lawn Mower discharges material unevenly, leaving bunches along the swath, it could be due to a couple of reasons. First, the material might be too high and too much. To resolve this, reduce your ground speed while maintaining 540rpm at the tractor PTO, or make two passes over the material, raising the mower for the first pass and lowering it to the desired height for the second, cutting at a 90-degree angle to the first pass. Also, if the grass is wet, allow it to dry before mowing and slow down the ground speed of the tractor while keeping the engine running at full PTO rpm. Cutting lower may also help.

    What to do if Major Lawn Mower blade is scalping ground?
    • B
      Briana MyersAug 19, 2025
      If your Major Lawn Mower blade is scalping the ground, it could be because the mower is set too low, so raise the mower and reset the wheels. Alternatively, the field may be ridged, in which case you should cut the field at a different angle. If the field is too wet, stop and wait until it has dried.

    Why Major TDR Lawn Mower leaves a streak of uncut grass?
    • V
      vedwardsAug 22, 2025
      If your Major Lawn Mower leaves a streak of uncut or partially cut grass, several factors could be at play. The blades might be dull or bent, requiring replacement. The carrier RPM could be too low, so ensure you're using the correct PTO speed. If the field conditions are too wet, it's best to halt operation until it dries out. A ground speed that's too fast can also cause this issue, so reduce it by shifting to a lower gear. If the grass is down from previous weather, try mowing in only one direction. Also, check for any build-up of materials under the mower and clean it if necessary. Finally, ensure the blades are mounted correctly, with the cutting edge facing the correct rotation.

      Anthony GriffinAug 28, 2025
      If the gearbox of your Major Lawn Mower is overheating, it could be due to several reasons. First, check the lubricant level and fill it to the proper level if it's low. If the lubricant is the improper type, replace it with the correct one. Also, remove any excessive grass or debris build-up around the gearbox.

    Why is my Major Lawn Mower so noisy?
    • B
      Brittany MitchellAug 30, 2025
      If your Major Lawn Mower is making excessive noise, several factors could be the cause. Check for worn bearings and replace them if necessary. Ensure the oil level in the gearbox is adequate and add oil if it's low. Inspect for any loose parts and fully tighten all bolts. Verify that the PTO RPM rate is correct and adjust as needed. Replace any bent or missing blades. Check that the PTO shafts are aligned correctly. Also, check the output shaft on gearboxes and the driveline between gearboxes are aligned.

    Why do blades wear too fast on Major TDR Lawn Mower?
    • M
      Miss Jacqueline SuttonSep 3, 2025
      If the blades of your Major Lawn Mower are wearing too fast, it might be because you are cutting in sandy or rocky conditions, or the blades are hitting the ground. To resolve this, increase the cutting height.

    Why is the gearbox leaking on my Major TDR Lawn Mower?
    • J
      joan19Sep 6, 2025
      If the gearbox on your Major Lawn Mower is leaking, there are several potential causes. It could be due to a damaged oil seal, a bent shaft, or a shaft that is rough in the oil seal area. The oil seal might also be installed incorrectly or not sealing in the housing. Other possible causes include an oil level that is too high, a hole in the gearbox, a damaged gasket, or loose bolts. To address these issues, you may need to replace the seal, shaft, or gasket, use a sealant on the outside diameter of the seal, drain oil to the proper level, replace the gearbox, or tighten the bolts.

    Why does my Major TDR require excessive power?
    • B
      becklisaSep 8, 2025
      If your Major Lawn Mower seems to require excessive power, it could be due to several reasons. You might be advancing into the grass too rapidly, in which case you should reduce your forward travel speed. The mower might be hitting the ground, so raise the mower and reset the wheels. The blades could be worn or dull, so sharpen or replace them. Finally, the tractor might not be large enough, so use a larger horsepower tractor.
