THE TRADEOFFS, EXPLAINED

Farmry LFP47 vs WoodMaxx FM-62 hammer: 47 inches of Y-blades or 55 inches of hammers on a narrow tractor

LFP47 and FM-62 cover similar power ranges, and a Massey Ferguson MF 1E.40, at 31.5–33.5 PTO and 39.4 engine hp, is inside both. The deciding facts are width, blades and weight. LFP47 cuts 47.2 inches with Y-blades and weighs 464 lb with shaft; FM-62 cuts 55 inches with hammers and weighs 774 lb. On a tractor 52.4 inches wide, only FM-62 spans both rear tires.

START WITH THE DECISION

Consider LFP47 for grass on a light budgetShortlist LFP47 when Farmry confirms its range covers your tractor, the growth is mostly grass and light weeds, and leaving the tire tracks for a second pass is acceptable.

Consider FM-62 to cover the tracks and cut brushShortlist FM-62 when the tractor’s PTO rating is between 24 and 45 hp, the cut should span the rear tires and hammers suit heavier growth.

The differences that matter.

An unstated range against a PTO range

Farmry lists LFP47 at 25–45 tractor hp without naming engine or PTO power. WoodMaxx’s manual lists FM-62 with hammers at 24–45 PTO hp.

A tractor with 31.5–33.5 PTO and 39.4 engine hp is inside both on any reading. Above 45 engine hp but under 45 PTO hp, only FM-62’s range is clear.

47.2 inches against 55

Farmry’s manual gives LFP47 a 120-cm (47.2-inch) cutting width. WoodMaxx lists FM-62 at 55 inches.

On a 52.4-inch tractor, LFP47 leaves the rear-tire tracks uncut; FM-62 spans them at minimum width.

Y-blades against hammers

LFP47 is specified with 32 Y-blades; Farmry’s page describes hammers as a future option. FM-62 in this configuration carries hammers.

Y-blades suit grass and light growth; hammers suit heavier brush. Choose by the growth you mow, and confirm the blade set on the order.

464 lb against 774 lb

LFP47 is 464 lb including the PTO shaft on Farmry’s page (210 kg in the manual). WoodMaxx’s manual lists FM-62 at 774 lb product weight; its page lists 641 lb mower-only plus a 39-lb shaft.

FM-62 is about 300 lb heavier. Both are under a 1,598-lb lift at 24 inches; plan ballast on FM-62’s complete weight.

$2,199 against $3,630

LFP47 was observed at $2,199 and FM-62 hammer at $3,630 on November 7, 2026.

FM-62 cost $1,431 more on these dated observations for 7.8 more inches of cut and hammers.

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.

FM-62’s 774-lb manual product weight differs from the page’s 641 lb mower-only plus 39-lb shaft.

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 current product page and the Rev 1.3 manual; FM-62 uses the current product page and the 2025-to-current WoodMaxx manual.
