The published range

WoodMaxx lists the WM-8M at 19+ PTO hp. WoodMaxx gives the range in PTO horsepower, so this site compares each tractor’s published PTO rating. WoodMaxx publishes no upper limit.

How 294 configurations screen

Of the 294 tractor configurations profiled on this site, 250 are not excluded, 40 fall under the minimum and 4 list less lift at 24 inches than its weight. 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 29 of 31; John Deere 33 of 39; KIOTI 29 of 37; Kubota 34 of 39; LS 28 of 32; Mahindra 12 of 17; Massey Ferguson 26 of 29; New Holland 17 of 18; TYM 31 of 37; Yanmar 11 of 15.

Closest exclusions

The configurations closest to the line are just under the minimum: TYM T254 HST (18.8 PTO hp), Mahindra 2126 HST (18.8 PTO hp), KIOTI CX2510 HST † (18.8 PTO hp). A newer spec sheet, a different transmission or the maker’s confirmation can change these.

Weight and hitch

This site retains a 775-lb weight for the WM-8M. 4 configurations list less lift 24 inches behind the hitch than that and are excluded on weight alone; tractors with no published 24-inch lift are held for review. It mounts on a Category 1 and 2 hitch.

Take these questions with you.

  1. Which exact configuration and transmission is the tractor?
  2. Does WoodMaxx confirm the WM-8M 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.
