THE TRADEOFFS, EXPLAINED

WoodMaxx FM-62H hammers vs TMG-TFMS50: wider cut or narrower side-shift mower?

Both mowers offer hydraulic side shift, but FM-62H cuts 55 inches and TFMS50 lists a 49-inch working width. WoodMaxx gives a blade-specific PTO range, while TMG combines an unspecified 30–60 HP band with a separate 50 PTO-hp ceiling. Compare the width you need, the exact power requirement and the complete operating load before choosing by the dated listing price.

TFMS50: when it deserves a closer lookConsider when the narrower 49-inch working width helps access and its confirmed operating assembly suits the tractor; clarify the generic horsepower minimum and remote requirements first.

The differences that matter.

01

Working width

FM-62H hammer: 55 inches. TFMS50: 49 inches in Specifications; nominal model label is 50.

A six-inch difference in the stated working widths affects pass planning and narrow access. TMG manual 1250 mm is about 49.2 inches.

02

Power basis and ceiling

FM-62H hammer: explicitly 24–45 PTO hp. TFMS50: 30–60 HP with basis unspecified; separate manual maximum 50 PTO hp.

WoodMaxx provides a complete PTO range; TMG still needs clarification of its generic lower range. A 46–50 PTO hp tractor exceeds the FM-62H ceiling even though it is at or below TMG’s separate ceiling.

03

Weight evidence

FM-62H: 860 lb manual product weight; page 716 lb mower-only plus 39 lb shaft. TFMS50: 660 lb page operation weight; 300 kg manual structure weight.

The labels and inclusions differ. Do not calculate a verified operating-weight saving; obtain matching complete loads.

04

Hammer replacement count

FM-62H: 18 individual hammers. TFMS50: 20 flail hammers.

The replacement quantities differ; obtain delivered-revision parts pricing. Counts do not establish cutting quality or durability.
