THE TRADEOFFS, EXPLAINED

Farmer-Helper FH-EFGC155 hammer vs Land Pride FM2584 hammer: a PTO range or an 84-inch mower at its engine minimum

FH-EFGC155 and FM2584 are hammer flails at opposite ends of the size range. A KIOTI NX5010, at 50 gross engine hp and 41.8 or 38.9 PTO hp, is inside FH-EFGC155’s 25–65 PTO hp on either transmission. It clears FM2584’s 49-hp minimum by 1.0 only on engine power, and Land Pride does not name the basis. FM2584 cuts 24 inches wider and weighs far more.

The differences that matter.

A PTO range against an unstated basis

Betstco’s page labels FH-EFGC155’s 25–65 hp as PTO horsepower; its linked manual gives an 80-PTO-hp ceiling and an engine-basis minimum footnote for hydrostatic tractors. Land Pride lists FM2584 at 49–80 tractor hp without naming engine or PTO, and ties the minimum to speed, terrain, material and moisture.

A tractor with 39–42 PTO and 50 engine hp is inside FH-EFGC155 on any reading, and inside FM2584 only if Land Pride means engine power.

60 inches against 84

FH-EFGC155 cuts 60 inches and is 67 inches overall, with two mounting positions offset right. FM2584 cuts 84 inches, is 96 inches overall and mounts center or 10 inches right.

On a 65.6-inch tractor, FM2584 spans the rear tires with room to spare and FH-EFGC155 does not. FM2584 needs a 96-inch opening, and a tractor manual’s width rows may apply.

About 720–741 lb against about 1,200 lb plus rotor

Betstco lists FH-EFGC155 at 741 lb (720 in the manual). Land Pride lists FM2584 at 1,236 lb with a duckfoot rotor (brochure 1,168 lb) and its hammer rotor assembly separately at 301 lb, with no complete hammer weight.

On the duckfoot-unit figure, FM2584 is about 500 lb heavier, and it sits farther from the hitch. Both are under a 3,177-lb lift at 24 inches; plan ballast on a confirmed operating weight.

Category 1 against Category I/II

FH-EFGC155 is listed for Category 1. FM2584 is listed as Category I/II.

Both suit a Category 1 tractor; only FM2584 lists Category 2.

A listed price against a dealer quote

FH-EFGC155 was observed at $2,408 on November 7, 2026. Land Pride publishes no FM2584 price, and the hammer rotor is a separate order item.

FM25 hammer capacity is 1.5 inches in the catalog’s blade options and 2 inches in its FAQ and manual; FM2584’s brochure weight (1,168 lb) differs from the manual’s 1,236-lb duckfoot-unit weight.
