Farmer-Helper FH-EFGC155 hammer vs Land Pride FM2572 hammer: a PTO range or an unstated basis on a 70-inch tractor
FH-EFGC155 and FM2572 are both hammer flails for mid-size compact tractors, but only Betstco’s page names the power basis. A Massey Ferguson MF 2E.50, at 35.2–41.4 PTO hp and 48.8 engine hp, is inside FH-EFGC155’s 25–65 PTO hp on every figure. It clears FM2572’s 42-hp minimum on engine power and misses it on every PTO figure. FM2572 cuts 12 inches wider and is sold through dealers.

The differences that matter.
01
PTO range against an unstated basis
Betstco’s FH-EFGC155 page labels 25–65 hp as PTO horsepower; its linked manual gives an 80-PTO-hp ceiling and an engine-basis footnote for hydrostatic tractors. Land Pride lists FM2572 at 42–80 tractor hp without naming engine or PTO.
A tractor with 35–41 PTO and 48.8 engine hp is inside FH-EFGC155 on any reading, and inside FM2572 only if Land Pride means engine power.
