THE TRADEOFFS, EXPLAINED

Land Pride FM2584 hammer vs WoodMaxx FM-62 hammer: 84 inches at 49 hp or 55 inches up to 45

FM2584 and FM-62 sit at opposite ends of the same tractor. A TYM T574, with 44.7 PTO and 55 engine hp, is 0.3 under FM-62’s 45-PTO-hp ceiling and, on engine power only, 6.0 over FM2584’s 49-hp floor. FM2584 cuts 29 inches wider and weighs much more; FM-62 has a listed price and a clear PTO rule.

START WITH THE DECISION

Consider FM2584 when Land Pride confirms an engine basisShortlist FM2584 when Land Pride confirms its 49-hp minimum applies to your tractor’s engine figure, an 84-inch cut suits open ground and gates allow a 96-inch mower.

Consider FM-62 if WoodMaxx confirms the marginShortlist FM-62 when the tractor’s confirmed PTO rating is at or under 45 hp, WoodMaxx confirms the pairing near the ceiling, and a 55-inch cut covers the wheel path.

The differences that matter.

One ceiling, one floor

WoodMaxx’s manual lists 24–45 PTO hp for FM-62 with hammers. Land Pride lists 49–80 tractor hp for FM2584 without naming engine or PTO.

A 44.7-PTO, 55-engine-hp tractor is 0.3 inside FM-62 and inside FM2584 only on engine power. A higher dealer PTO figure would put it over FM-62; a PTO-basis ruling from Land Pride would rule out FM2584.

84 inches of cut against 55

FM2584 cuts 84 inches with a 96-inch overall width and mounts center or 10 inches right. FM-62 cuts 55 inches.

FM2584 covers more than half as much again per pass but needs an 8-foot opening. FM-62 is narrower than a 63.8-inch tractor and may not cover its rear wheels.

About 1,240 lb against 774 lb

Land Pride lists FM2584 at 1,236 lb with a duckfoot rotor (brochure 1,168) and its 24-hammer rotor assembly separately at 301 lb. FM-62’s manual lists 774 lb; its page lists 641 lb mower-only plus a 39-lb shaft.

FM2584 nearly doubles the rear load on the reference figures. Ask for its complete hammer-configuration weight and plan front ballast.

Category I/II against Category 1

FM2584 is listed as Category I/II; FM-62 as Category 1.

Both mount on a Category I tractor; only FM2584 also suits Category 2.

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. FM-62 hammer was observed at $3,630 on November 7, 2026.

Compare an itemized FM2584 dealer quote with FM-62’s delivered cost, and ask Land Pride which capacity applies.
