The differences that matter.

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.

TMG TFMS50: the page and manual table say 30–60 HP without a basis, while the manual’s p6 caps tractor power at 50 PTO hp.

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.
