THE TRADEOFFS, EXPLAINED

Farmry LFP47 vs TMG TFMS50: fixed Y-blades or hydraulic side shift?

The main reason to move from LFP47 to TFMS50 is powered lateral reach. Their listed cuts differ by less than two inches, while TFMS50 adds a hydraulic side-shift system and a higher operating-weight figure. Decide where you need the cutter relative to the tire track, then confirm the hydraulic circuit and power requirements. A narrower hydraulic mower is not automatically easier for a small tractor to carry or power.

START WITH THE DECISION

LFP47: a fixed deck with Y-bladesConsider when a fixed cut and Y-blade configuration meet the task without powered side shift, after tractor-power basis is clarified.

TFMS50: when powered lateral reach mattersConsider when lateral reach justifies the heavier attachment and hydraulic connection, only after TMG resolves power limits and hydraulic requirements.

The differences that matter.

Offset and hydraulic setup

LFP47: Fixed deck; RAM field is NO. TFMS50: About 14 inches hydraulic side shift; cylinder and two hoses.

Choose TFMS50 for a documented need to move the cutter sideways, subject to remote circuit and clearance confirmation; LFP47 avoids that additional circuit requirement.

Blade arrangement

LFP47: 32 Y-blades. TFMS50: 20 flail hammers.

These are different cutting setups; do not turn count or blade style alone into a quality or productivity claim.

Cutting width

LFP47: 47.2 inches in manual. TFMS50: 49 inches on page / 1,250 mm in manual.

The cut-width difference is modest. Hydraulic reach, rather than a much wider cut, is the main TMG distinction.

Published load

LFP47: 464 lb including shaft. TFMS50: 660 lb operation weight, shaft/fluid inclusion not explicit.

The TMG figure is higher, but a precise installed-weight difference cannot be promised until the inclusions match.

Power uncertainty

LFP47: 25–45 HP, basis unspecified. TFMS50: 30–60 HP, basis unspecified; manual separately limits tractor to 50 PTO hp.

Both need clarification; the TMG sources add an explicit PTO ceiling that must not be lost.

Keep these source limits with the decision.

Neither tractor-power band identifies engine/PTO basis. TFMS50’s manual also sets a 50 PTO-hp ceiling. Hydraulic flow, pressure and coupler compatibility remain unverified.

LFP47 has an unresolved oil-specification difference between page and manual. TFMS50’s operation weight does not explicitly state shaft/fluid inclusion.
