The published range

Woodland Mills lists the TFG55 PTO at 12–30 PTO hp. Woodland Mills gives the range in PTO horsepower, so this site compares each tractor’s published PTO rating.

How 294 configurations screen

Of the 294 tractor configurations profiled on this site, 103 are not excluded, 156 are over the maximum and 35 have a Category 2-only hitch. Not excluded is not approval: most pairings still need the maker or dealer to confirm the setup.

By brand

Configurations not excluded, by brand: Case IH 5 of 31; John Deere 13 of 39; KIOTI 12 of 37; Kubota 16 of 39; LS 9 of 32; Mahindra 11 of 17; Massey Ferguson 9 of 29; New Holland 4 of 18; TYM 16 of 37; Yanmar 8 of 15.

Closest exclusions

The configurations closest to the line are just over the maximum: Case IH Farmall 35A HST (30.1 PTO hp), New Holland WORKMASTER 35C HST (30.1 PTO hp), TYM T394 gear † (30.2 PTO hp). A newer spec sheet, a different transmission or the maker’s confirmation can change these.

Weight and hitch

This site retains a 346-lb weight for the TFG55 PTO. No configuration that clears the power range lists less lift 24 inches behind the hitch than that; tractors with no published 24-inch lift are held for review. It mounts on a Category 1 hitch, so Category 2-only tractors are excluded.

Take these questions with you.

  1. Which exact configuration and transmission is the tractor?
  2. Does Woodland Mills confirm the TFG55 PTO at the tractor’s rating?
  3. What is the complete weight with the PTO shaft?
  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

Attachment weight vs. tractor lift capacity

A product weight below a three-point lift rating is only the start of a load check. The two figures may describe different measuring points, configurations or operating conditions. Subtracting them does not produce an approved safety margin.

Read the guide →FIELD GUIDE

Meeting an attachment’s minimum PTO horsepower exactly: what zero margin means

A tractor whose PTO rating equals or barely exceeds an attachment’s minimum is inside the published range, and nothing more. Several makers attach separate capacity statements well above their minimums. When the margin is zero or one horsepower, also check the source of each number and what the maker expects at that power.

Read the guide →FIELD GUIDE

When the tractor is too strong: attachment maximum horsepower

Most horsepower checks look at the minimum. Many small chippers and flail mowers also publish a maximum, and a larger tractor can be outside the range for a lighter attachment. Treat the maximum as a published limit with its own horsepower basis. Ask the maker before assuming a light attachment is the safe choice.
