WoodMaxx FM-62 Y vs hammer: different minimum power, same cutting width
At 20 to below 24 PTO hp, the FM-62 Y option meets a different published minimum from the hammer version. Both have a 55-inch cut and the same $3,630 observed base price. WoodMaxx recommends Y-blades for grasses and hammers for small saplings, and says the purchased configurations are not interchangeable.

FM-62 Y: page directs Y-blades toward grasses. FM-62 hammer: page directs hammers toward saplings 1 inch or less.
Use this as manufacturer selection guidance, then ask about actual material and conditions. It does not prove a finish, efficiency or brush-capacity result.
Replacement quantities and assembly differ. The larger count of Y pieces is not evidence of more productive cutting; confirm center components and hardware in each kit.
FM-62 Y: manual describes reversible blades with its specified assembly order. FM-62 hammer: manual prescribes hammer orientation.
The maintenance procedures differ. Follow the delivered manual and matched-set requirements; no longer-life or lower-service-cost estimate is established.
FM-62 Y: black SKU FM-62-0007; $3,630 USD. FM-62 hammer: black SKU FM-62-0006; $3,630 USD.
These are separate offered configurations at equal observed base prices. The page forbids interchanging Y and hammer setups, so do not order one expecting a later blade-only conversion.

Generic weight and dimensions are not blade-specific and conflict between current page/manual.
Parts tables reuse rotor labels while the page explicitly disallows Y/hammer interchangeability; do not infer a conversion.
Page spare-kit bolt length and manual parts length differ.
