LFP47 and FH-EFGC125 cut almost the same width, 47.2 and 48 inches, and were observed $159 apart. The real differences are blades, power rules and weight. LFP47 ships with 32 Y-blades and a 25–45 hp range of unstated basis. FH-EFGC125 lists hammers, a 22-hp minimum whose basis changes by document and transmission, and a heavier body.

START WITH THE DECISION

Consider LFP47 for grass with a clearly stated weightShortlist LFP47 when the work is mainly grass, Y-blades are wanted, and Farmry confirms whether its 25–45 HP means engine or PTO power for your tractor.

Consider FH-EFGC125 for hammers and an adjustable offsetShortlist FH-EFGC125 when hammers suit the material, the two mounting positions help, and Betstco confirms in writing which power rule, blade set and weight apply to the delivered mower.

The differences that matter.

An unstated basis versus a basis that changes

LFP47 lists 25–45 HP of tractor power without saying engine or PTO; its 30 HP gearbox rating is a component figure. FH-EFGC125’s page lists 22–65 PTO hp, while its manual uses 22 HP as PTO power on gear tractors and engine power on hydro tractors.

A tractor with about 25 engine hp and 19–22 PTO hp may pass or fail either mower depending on the definition used. Ask both makers before treating either range as a fit.

Y-blades supplied versus hammers listed

LFP47 specifies 32 Y-blades and describes hammers only as a future option. FH-EFGC125’s description and manual list 20 hammers, while its Additional information lists 40 Y-blades installed.

If brush matters, FH-EFGC125’s hammers are the documented choice, once Betstco confirms the installed set. LFP47 cannot currently be bought with hammers.

Less than an inch of width difference

LFP47’s manual gives 120 cm / 47.2 inches of cut. FH-EFGC125 lists 48 inches of cut and 54 inches overall.

Width does not separate these mowers. Decide on blades, power rules and weight instead.

Weight with a stated shaft versus weight without

LFP47 lists 464 lb including the PTO shaft on its page (463.7 lb in the manual). FH-EFGC125 lists 576 lb on the page and 600 lb in the manual, with shaft and oil inclusion unstated.

FH-EFGC125 is at least about 112 lb heavier on the published figures. LFP47’s figure has the clearer basis; ask Betstco for an assembled weight.

Fixed mount versus two mounting positions

LFP47 lists no hydraulic ram and a fixed mount. FH-EFGC125 lists 23.5 or 27.75 inches right of center from two mounting positions, with a separate optional hydraulic-offset kit.

FH-EFGC125 offers a choice of offset at setup. Confirm which positions suit your tractor’s track before ordering either.

A CONDITIONAL SHORTLIST

Which direction makes sense?

Consider LFP47 for grass with a clearly stated weight

Shortlist LFP47 when the work is mainly grass, Y-blades are wanted, and Farmry confirms whether its 25–45 HP means engine or PTO power for your tractor. Its shaft-inclusive weight is the clearer published load.

Keep these source limits with the decision.

LFP47’s manual recommends SAE 85W-90 API GL-5 gear oil; the product page says SAE90 EP.

FH-EFGC125’s page and manual give different horsepower bases and ceilings, different product weights (576 versus 600 lb), and contradictory installed-blade listings.

This comparison reuses the manufacturer evidence retained in the product records reviewed November 7, 2026; product pages were not re-fetched on November 8. LFP47 uses the Rev 1.3 LFP Series manual; FH-EFGC125 uses the Revision 12-12-17 manual, whose p23 table was re-read on November 8, 2026.
