THE SHORT ANSWER

Is FH-EF105 worth a closer look?

At 16 PTO hp minimum and 41 inches, the EF105 is sized for 16–20-hp sub-compacts that most flails here are rated above. It is a Y-blade grass mower with a 45-hp gearbox, not a brush mower; check that 41 inches suits the tractor’s track width and its lift at 24 inches.

The seller confirms the exact setup, current price and delivery. No field test or manufacturer-confirmed pairing is claimed.

THE BUYING PERSPECTIVE

Know before you order.

  • The product page states 16–45 PTO horsepower. The FH-EF manual (June 2025) gives the 16-PTO-hp minimum and a 45-hp gearbox rating; it states no separate tractor maximum, so this site uses the page’s 45 PTO hp.
  • Cutting width 41 inches; overall width 45 inches.
  • Blades: 36 Y-blades; an 18-blade mulch (hammer) set is optional.
  • Weight: page 342 lb, manual 347 lb; this site retains 347 lb.
  • Price: $1,547 sale against a $1,820 regular price on Betstco’s page on November 14, 2026.
  • Check three-point geometry, lift at the implement load center, front ballast and PTO shaft clearance on the tractor.
