Farmry LFS61 vs Land Pride FM2572 hammer: two unstated horsepower bases that point opposite ways
LFS61 and FM2572 do not overlap on paper: Farmry stops at 35 hp and Land Pride starts at 42. A tractor such as the Kubota L4270 Deluxe, at 32.5 PTO and 42 engine hp, is inside one or the other depending on which figure each maker means. Neither says. LFS61 is a light, fixed 61-inch mower with a listed price; FM2572 is a dealer-sold 72-inch mower about two and a half times as heavy.

Consider LFS61 if Farmry confirms a PTO basisShortlist LFS61 when Farmry confirms its 35-hp ceiling refers to PTO power at or above your tractor’s figure, a 61-inch cut covers the wheel path and a light, listed-price mower suits the work.

The differences that matter.
01
15–35 hp against 42–80 hp, both unstated
Farmry rates LFS61 at 15–35 hp and Land Pride rates FM2572 at 42–80 hp; neither names engine or PTO power. Land Pride ties its minimum to speed, terrain, material and moisture.
On a 32.5-PTO, 42-engine-hp tractor, a PTO reading puts LFS61 in (2.5 under its ceiling) and FM2572 out (9.5 short). An engine reading does the opposite: LFS61 7 over, FM2572 exactly at its minimum. Get both makers’ answers before choosing.
Farmry’s manual lists LFS61 at 421 lb net with the PTO shaft. Land Pride lists FM2572’s standard unit at 1,040 lb with a duckfoot rotor, and its hammer rotor assembly separately at 261 lb.
FM2572 is the much heavier rear load. Both are within a 2,756-lb lift rating at 24 inches, but plan front ballast on FM2572’s complete hammer-configuration weight.
Shortlist LFS61 when Farmry confirms its 35-hp ceiling refers to PTO power at or above your tractor’s figure, a 61-inch cut covers the wheel path and a light, listed-price mower suits the work.
Consider FM2572 if Land Pride confirms an engine basis
Shortlist FM2572 when Land Pride confirms its 42-hp minimum applies to your tractor’s engine figure, a 72-inch cut suits the ground and dealer setup matters. With no margin, ask what ground speed Land Pride expects.
Neither Farmry nor Land Pride names the horsepower basis; on a tractor between 35 and 42 hp on its two figures, each mower is in or out depending on the reading.
Land Pride’s FM2572 weights are for the standard unit with a duckfoot rotor; the hammer rotor assembly is listed separately and no complete hammer weight is given.
