The differences that matter.

Three ways to read 25 hp

LFP47’s page and manual give a 25–45 HP tractor power range without naming engine or PTO, beside a separate 30 HP gearbox rating. FH-EFGC155’s page lists 25–65 PTO hp; its manual footnote makes the minimum PTO hp on gear tractors and engine hp on hydro tractors, and p16 gives an 80 PTO hp ceiling. Additional information mentions a 65 HP gearbox for tractors up to 50 HP.

A tractor with 27.7 PTO and 38.7 engine hp is inside both on every reading. A larger tractor may not be: 48 engine hp exceeds LFP47’s 45 if Farmry means engine power. Get each maker’s rule in writing for your tractor.

47.2 inches against 60 inches of cut

LFP47’s manual lists 120 cm (47.2 in.) cutting width. FH-EFGC155 lists 60 inches cutting and 67 inches overall.

FH-EFGC155 covers about 27 percent more width per pass but needs more gate and storage room. Check either against the tractor’s actual rear track; on a tractor about 62 inches wide, the 47-inch cut will not span the wheels.

Y-blades for grass, hammers for brush

LFP47 is specified with 32 Y-blades, with hammers described only as a future option. FH-EFGC155’s description, table and manual list 24 installed hammers, with 48 Y-blades optional. Betstco’s page also states up to 3-inch wooded material without conditions.

Choose by the material: LFP47 for grass and light weeds, FH-EFGC155 for brushier growth. Treat the 3-inch claim as marketing until Betstco gives conditions for it.

About 260–280 lb apart on the published weights

LFP47 lists 464 lb including the PTO shaft (manual 210 kg). FH-EFGC155 lists 741 lb on its page and 720 lb in its manual, with shaft and oil inclusion unstated.

LFP47 has the better-defined weight. Both are under a 1,720-lb lift rating at 24 inches, but ask Betstco for the complete operating weight before planning ballast.

$209 apart on the dated observations

LFP47 was observed at $2,199 and FH-EFGC155 at $2,408 on November 7, 2026. FH-EFGC155’s optional hydraulic-offset kit is a separate purchase.

The price gap is small next to the differences in width and blade type. Compare delivered quotes with the same shaft, spares and liftgate service.
