Land Pride FM2560 vs WoodMaxx FM-62 Y: 60-inch hammer or 55-inch Y-blade

FM-62 Y starts lower and FM2560 reaches higher. A Kubota L3302 gear fits both; a Kubota L2501 gear (20.5 PTO, 24.8 engine) only FM-62 Y; a Kubota L6070 Premium (53 PTO) only FM2560. The blades differ too: hammers for brush, Y-blades for grass.

Keep these source limits with the decision.

FM2560: Land Pride’s catalog gives 1.5-inch hammer capacity in one section and 2-inch in its FAQ; the 33–80 hp band names no engine or PTO basis.

FM-62 family: the product pages quote a generic 20–45 PTO hp; the manual limits hammer versions to 24–45 and gives 20–45 only for Y-blades.

This comparison reuses the manufacturer evidence retained in the product records reviewed November 7, 2026; product pages were not re-fetched on November 9. Document conflicts are kept visible. No field test or manufacturer-approved tractor pairing is claimed.
