Farmry LFS61 vs TMG-TFM60: similar swaths, different tractor demands
The LFS61 and TMG-TFM60 occupy a similar cutting-width class, but their tractor requirements are not interchangeable. TMG publishes a higher horsepower band, a larger material-capacity claim and a substantially heavier operating-weight figure. Its manual also disagrees with the product page on several important numbers. Start by ruling out tractors below TMG’s stated power range, then confirm the unresolved specifications with the seller. A near-identical width is not enough to put these two mowers on the same tractor shortlist.

The differences that matter.
01
Their horsepower bands target different tractors
LFS61 lists 15–35 HP; TMG-TFM60 lists 30–60 HP. Neither general range identifies engine versus PTO basis. TMG’s manual separately says the tractor must not exceed 50 PTO hp.
Obtain both engine and PTO ratings for the tractor and ask each manufacturer to define its range. A tractor below 30 hp on both measures cannot meet TMG’s published lower bound; an engine rating alone cannot settle the others.
TMG is heavier, with its exact operating weight unresolved
LFS61 manual lists 421 lb with PTO shaft. TMG’s page lists 650 lb operating weight, but its manual lists 270 kg, approximately 595 lb. Shipping weights are 509 lb and 680 lb respectively.
Even the lower TMG manual figure is above LFS61’s listed shaft-inclusive weight. The exact installed difference remains uncertain; request delivered weight and load-center information before a lift/ballast decision.
Published material capacity is 0.8 versus 1.5 inches
Farmry describes LFS61 cutting shrubs/weeds up to 0.8 inch; TMG lists a 1.5-inch cutting capacity. LFS61 has 22 hammers, versus TMG’s 24 in the retained specifications.
If your material exceeds Farmry’s stated limit, an almost equal cut width does not make it a substitute. Manufacturer capacity claims are not field-test results, and material condition and operating instructions still matter.
The apparent one-inch swath difference is not settled
LFS61 is specified at 61.0 inches. TMG’s page says 60 inches but also displays 1550 mm, and its manual gives 1550 mm, approximately 61.0 inches.
Do not make the purchase around a promised one-inch advantage. Ask TMG for the actual delivered cutting width and complete transport dimensions; the page’s inch/mm pair is inconsistent.
Consider LFS61 for its documented lighter assembly and smaller material limit
LFS61 deserves consideration if your material stays within its stated limit and Farmry confirms the unspecified horsepower basis for your tractor. Check the 421 lb shaft-inclusive load, geometry and ballast requirements. Its lower observed price does not establish equal brush-handling capability to TMG.
Consider TMG-TFM60 only after the tractor and weight questions are settled
TMG may warrant investigation when you need its published 1.5-inch material capacity and your tractor meets the clarified power and implement-load requirements. Resolve the 650 lb/270 kg weight discrepancy and the 30–60 HP versus 50 PTO-hp ceiling before purchasing. Do not shortlist it for a Kubota L2501 based on mower width or Category 1 alone.
TMG operation weight: 650 lb on the page versus 270 kg (about 595 lb) in the manual. Neither discrepancy nor shipping weight should be converted into a verified installed weight.
TMG generic 30–60 HP range has an unspecified basis, alongside a manual ceiling of 50 PTO hp. Farmry’s 15–35 HP range is also unspecified.
TMG describes its swath as both 60 inches and 1550 mm (about 61.0 inches). Confirm the delivered specification.
