The differences that matter.
01
An unstated range against a PTO range
Farmry lists LFS61 at 15–35 tractor hp without naming engine or PTO; its 30-hp gearbox rating is a separate component figure. WoodMaxx’s manual lists FM-62 with hammers at 24–45 PTO hp.
A tractor with 29 PTO and 40 engine hp is inside FM-62 on any reading and inside LFS61 only if Farmry means PTO power.
Farmry’s LFS manual gives LFS61 a 61-inch cut. WoodMaxx lists FM-62 at 55 inches cut and 65 inches overall, with fixed extents of 29 inches left and 36 inches right of center.
Neither spans a 62.8-inch tractor at minimum tread; LFS61 comes within 1.8 inches.
Farmry’s manual lists LFS61 at 421 lb with the PTO shaft. 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 roughly 350 lb heavier at the rear; both are well under a 2,716-lb lift at 24 inches.
