Land Pride FM2572 hammer vs TMG TFMS50: a 72-inch fixed cut or 49 inches with side shift
Neither FM2572 nor TFMS50 names its power basis cleanly, and a tractor such as the New Holland Boomer 50 (42.5 or 40.0 PTO hp, 50 gross) shows why it matters. On PTO power the gear tractor clears FM2572’s 42 by 0.5 and the HST misses by 2.0; TFMS50 is inside on both. The mowers differ more in what they do: FM2572 cuts 72 inches in one fixed pass, TFMS50 cuts 49 inches and shifts sideways about 14 inches.

01
42–80 hp against 30–60 hp with a 50-PTO-hp cap
Land Pride lists FM2572 at 42–80 tractor hp without naming engine or PTO. TMG’s table gives TFMS50 30–60 hp without a basis; its manual says tractor power must not exceed 50 PTO hp.
A tractor near 40 PTO and 50 engine hp is inside TFMS50 on any reading and inside FM2572 only if Land Pride means engine power, or the PTO figure reaches 42.
Land Pride lists FM2572’s standard unit at 1,040 lb with a duckfoot rotor and its hammer rotor assembly separately. TMG lists TFMS50 at 660 lb operating weight.
FM2572’s duckfoot unit alone is about 380 lb heavier, before the hammer rotor; both are under a 2,116-lb lift at 24 inches.
