Keep these source limits with the decision.

FH-EFGC125: the current page states 22–65 PTO hp; the linked Rev 12-12-17 manual gives an 80-PTO-hp ceiling and an engine-hp footnote for hydrostatic tractors.

FM-62 family: the product pages quote a generic 20–45 PTO hp; the manual limits hammer versions to 24–45 and gives 20–45 only for Y-blades.

This comparison reuses the manufacturer evidence retained in the product records reviewed November 7, 2026; product pages were not re-fetched on November 9. Document conflicts are kept visible. No field test or manufacturer-approved tractor pairing is claimed.
