THE TRADEOFFS, EXPLAINED

Farmer-Helper FH-EFGC125 vs TMG TFM60: 48-inch or 60-inch under $2,300

Both are fixed Category 1 flails within $259 of each other. TFM60 cuts 12 inches wider; FH-EFGC125 covers more tractor power. A Kubota L3302 gear (28 PTO, 33 engine hp) fits both; a Kubota L6070 Premium (53 PTO hp) fits only FH-EFGC125, because TMG’s manual caps tractor power at 50 PTO hp.
