THE TRADEOFFS, EXPLAINED

Land Pride FM2572 hammer vs WoodMaxx FM-62 hammer: 72 inches on an unstated basis or 55 inches on a PTO rule

FM2572 and FM-62 both carry hammers and suit tractors in the 40s of engine horsepower, but only FM-62’s rating is clear. WoodMaxx lists 24–45 PTO hp. Land Pride lists 42–80 tractor hp without saying engine or PTO, so a tractor such as the TYM T474, with 35.9 PTO and 48.3 engine hp, is inside on one reading and 6.1 hp short on the other. FM2572 cuts 17 inches wider and is sold through dealers.

The differences that matter.

An unstated basis against a PTO range

Land Pride lists 42–80 tractor hp for FM2572 without naming engine or PTO, and ties the minimum to speed, terrain, material and moisture. WoodMaxx’s manual lists 24–45 PTO hp for FM-62 with hammers.

A tractor with 35.9 PTO and 48.3 engine hp is inside FM-62’s range by 11.9 and inside FM2572’s only if Land Pride means engine power. A tractor above 45 PTO hp is over FM-62 and inside FM2572 on either reading.

72 inches of cut against 55

FM2572 cuts 72 inches with an 84-inch overall width and mounts center or 10 inches right. FM-62 cuts 55 inches.

FM2572 covers about 30 percent more per pass and spans a wider tractor’s wheels; FM-62 fits narrower gates and storage. On a 54.5-inch tractor such as the T474, either may cover the wheel path depending on offset and track.

Category I/II against Category 1

Land Pride lists FM2572 as Category I/II. WoodMaxx lists FM-62 as Category 1, with Cat 1 quick-hitch parts sold separately.

On a Category 1 tractor both mount; FM2572 also suits a Category 2 tractor.

About 1,040 lb against 774 lb

Land Pride lists FM2572’s standard unit at 1,040 lb with a duckfoot rotor and its 20-hammer rotor assembly separately at 261 lb, with no complete hammer weight. WoodMaxx’s manual lists FM-62 at 774 lb; its page lists 641 lb mower-only plus a 39-lb shaft.

FM2572 is the heavier load. On a tractor whose 24-inch lift figure is uncertain, ask for both complete operating weights.

Hammer capacity and price

Land Pride’s catalog gives 1.5-inch hammer capacity in its blade options and 2 inches in its FAQ; the manual says 2 inches. FM-62 hammer was observed at $3,630 on November 7, 2026, with a slip-clutch shaft and gearbox oil listed; Land Pride publishes no price.

Compare an itemized FM2572 dealer quote, with rotor, shaft and setup, against FM-62’s delivered cost.

A CONDITIONAL SHORTLIST

FM25 hammer capacity is 1.5 inches in the catalog’s blade options and 2 inches in its FAQ and manual; Land Pride’s horsepower basis is unstated.

FM-62’s 774-lb manual product weight differs from the page’s 641 lb mower-only plus 39-lb shaft; neither is a confirmed operating weight.
