Farmry WCAP5 vs Farmer-Helper FH-BX62S: a 45-engine-hp ceiling or a 45-PTO-hp ceiling
WCAP5 and FH-BX62S both stop at 45, but on different figures. Farmry’s 45 is engine horsepower; Betstco’s is PTO horsepower. A New Holland Boomer 45, at 45 gross hp and 36.0–38.2 PTO hp, is exactly on WCAP5’s ceiling and 6.8–9.0 under FH-BX62S’s. On a tractor rated a little more than 45 engine hp, only FH-BX62S stays in range.
