Murphy Agri Products is hosting a Major hedge-cutting demonstration day on Thursday October 8, 2026. The event will take place at its premises in Ballyhohan, Ballylooby, Cahir, Co Tipperary (E21 DH21), from 2pm to 6pm.

Contractors, farmers and machine operators will get a chance to see Major rotary hedge-cutting heads working on both power arms and excavators.

Three working widths will be demonstrated on the day: 0.80m, 1.10m and 1.43m. Major Equipment product specialists will be on hand to talk through setup, oil-flow requirements and how the heads compare with conventional flail systems on output, finish and running costs.

The Major MJ39 Rotary hedge cutter is designed as a replacement head for existing power arms and excavators.

The design is very similar to the firm's Cyclone, with the gearbox driveline powering twin rotors and eight overlapping blades (four large and four small).

The hydraulic motor is fitted with an overrun clutch, protecting the hydraulic system when the motor stops.

A full-length roller controls the cutting height between 40mm-100mm for verge work and can be moved up and away for hedge-cutting. An adjustable front hood, hydraulically or manually enabled, controls the amount of material entering the cutting chamber.
