Where the line-up sits

The 29 Massey Ferguson configurations profiled here run from 18.2 to 87 PTO hp across 21 model families. 6 of them sit within 1 PTO hp of a 30, 35, 45, 50 or 65-hp attachment limit, where the transmission or the document version can change the answer.

Gear and HST

3 Massey Ferguson models here are profiled in both gear and HST versions. The widest gap is the MF 2E.60’s 2.7 PTO hp (48 gear, 45.3 HST). In 1 of them the gap crosses a published attachment limit; the MF 2E.50’s gap spans the 40-hp line.

Lift

Published lift 24 inches behind the hitch runs from 661 to 4,850 lb. 7 configurations list less than the 1,950 lb of Wallenstein BX102RI, the heaviest attachment on this site.

Hitch category

5 configurations list a Category 2 hitch only, which this site screens out for Category 1-only attachments; 13 list Category 1 and 2 or a hitch convertible between them.

What fits most often

Across these configurations, WoodMaxx WM-8H (27 of 29) and WoodMaxx WM-8M (26) are the chippers that most often clear the published limits; Farmry HFS87 (24) and Farmer-Helper FH-EFGC125 (20) lead the flail mowers. ‘Clears’ means not excluded; nearly every pairing still needs dealer confirmation.

Massey Ferguson notes

Massey Ferguson splits several M-series ratings between mechanical and HST transmissions; the MF 2604H has a live PTO; and AGCO’s October 2025 sheet lists the MF 4700 Global Series as Category II only, from the MF 4707 cab’s 57 PTO hp to the MF 4710’s 87. 14 configurations marked † carry a recorded source conflict.

Take these questions with you.

  1. Which exact configuration and transmission is the tractor?
  2. Which document date do the PTO and lift figures come from?
  3. Is the attachment rated on engine or PTO horsepower?
  4. What does the dealer list for lift 24 inches behind the hitch?

Keep these questions with your exact tractor and attachment details.

FIELD GUIDE

Live, independent or “live with o/r clutch”: reading a tractor’s PTO type

Spec sheets often list a PTO type next to PTO horsepower, and the labels can differ within one model family. Mahindra’s 1600 Series lists three types across eight configurations. The label tells you something is different; it does not tell you how to protect a heavy chipper or flail driveline. Use it to ask the right questions.

Tractors near 60–65 PTO hp: which chippers and flail mowers still fit

Between 57 and 63 PTO hp, most attachments on this site are out on power, and the ones left sit close to their ceilings. WoodMaxx FM-78 and Farmer-Helper FH-EFGC155 stop at 65 PTO hp; the LS MT473 (62.9) is 2.1 under. Several of these tractors also have Category 2-only hitches, which removes Category 1 attachments.

Category 2-only tractors: the chippers and flail mowers that list Category 2

35 tractor configurations on this site list a Category 2 hitch only, from KIOTI’s DK and RX series to Kubota’s M5, LS’s MT7 and MF’s 4700. Of the attachments here, 9 chippers and 7 flail mowers list Category 2; up to 64.1 PTO hp, all but Farmry WCAP5 (15–45 engine hp), Wallenstein BX102S and BX102RI (from 80 and 75 engine hp) and Blue Diamond’s 403740 (from 75 hp) suit these tractors on power, and the eight above that are over some of them.
