Land Pride FM2560, FM2572 and FM2584: when engine or PTO hp decides the fit
Land Pride rates the FM2560, FM2572 and FM2584 flail mowers from 33, 42 and 49 hp without naming engine or PTO power in its manual. On this site 51, 59 and 44 tractor configurations clear those minimums on engine power but not on PTO power.

One number, two readings
Land Pride’s FM25 manual lists tractor requirements of 33–80, 42–80 and 49–80 hp. It does not say whether that is engine or PTO horsepower. Across the 261 configurations on this site, PTO ratings run 74–87 percent of engine ratings for the middle 80 percent of tractors, so the two readings can differ by 10 hp or more.
How this site screens them
Because the basis is unstated, a tractor is excluded only when both its engine and PTO figures are under the minimum. The ‘engine only’ rows are held for review.
Where it matters most
The gap is widest for the 84-inch FM2584: many 50–57 engine-hp tractors have 40–47 PTO hp. Ask a Land Pride dealer which figure the 49 hp means before choosing that width.
Width and hitch
FM2560 is listed for Category 1 hitches; FM2572 and FM2584 for Category 1 and 2. Width matters as much as power: check the cut against the tractor’s rear track.
Take these questions with you.
- Does Land Pride’s minimum mean engine or PTO horsepower?
- Which FM25 width covers my rear tires?
- Which hitch category is fitted?
- What front ballast does the dealer recommend?
Keep these questions with your exact tractor and attachment details.
