The differences that matter.

01

25–65 PTO hp against a 50-PTO-hp cap

FH-EFGC155: 25–65 PTO hp on its page. TFM60: 30–60 HP without a basis on its page, and a 50-PTO-hp maximum in its manual.

Tractors over 50 PTO hp fit only FH-EFGC155.

02

60 inches, two ways

FH-EFGC155 cuts 60 inches (67 overall). TMG’s page says 60; its manual gives 1,550 mm, about 61.

Effectively the same width; compare overall widths for gates and storage.

03

Weight

TMG lists 650 lb operation weight (about 595 in the manual). No FH-EFGC155 weight is retained.

Ask Farmer-Helper for the shaft-inclusive weight.

04

$2,408 against $2,299

Observed November 7, 2026. FH-EFGC155 includes a shear-bolt shaft and 24 hammers.

TFM60 costs $109 less.

TMG TFM60: the page lists 650 lb and 30–60 HP; the manual lists 270 kg (about 595 lb), a 50-PTO-hp maximum and a 1,550 mm (about 61-inch) cut.
