The differences that matter.

01

25–65 PTO hp against 33–80 hp

FH-EFGC155: 25–65 PTO hp on its page. FM2560: 33–80 tractor hp in Land Pride’s manual, with no engine or PTO basis.

Small compacts under 33 engine hp fit only FH-EFGC155.

02

24 hammers against 16

Farmer-Helper describes 24 hammers on FH-EFGC155; Land Pride’s FM2560 hammer rotor 333-135A carries 16.

More, smaller hammers against fewer, heavier ones; ask each maker about the material.

03

Offset

FH-EFGC155 is a fixed-offset mower (the hydraulic-offset kit is a separate option). FM2560 has center and 8-inch right-offset hitch positions.

FM2560’s offset is set by hitch position; neither needs a rear remote as configured.

Keep these source limits with the decision.

FH-EFGC155: the current page states 25–65 PTO hp; the linked Rev 12-12-17 manual gives an 80-PTO-hp ceiling and a minimum-hp footnote that switches to engine hp on hydrostatic tractors.

FM2560: Land Pride’s catalog gives 1.5-inch hammer capacity in one section and 2-inch in its FAQ; the 33–80 hp band names no engine or PTO basis.

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.
