FM2572 · hammer rotor

THE BUYING PERSPECTIVE

Know before you order.

• The current official model listing, brochure and manual p14 give 42–80 hp. The manual calls this tractor horsepower without identifying engine or PTO output. These are model-level requirements, not an independently labeled hammer-specific power test. Keep horsepower basis unspecified and obtain written clarification; the 80-hp gearbox rating does not resolve it.
• Capacity evidence rechecked November 8, 2026. Land Pride’s current FM25 catalog conflicts internally: its Three Blade options feature states 1.5-inch hammer capacity, while its cutting-capacity FAQ and July 1, 2024 manual p39 state 2 inches. Confirm the delivered configuration and material conditions; no settled capacity advantage is claimed. Manual p14 also ties minimum power to speed, terrain, material load and moisture.
• The selected configuration is the FM2572 with hammer rotor assembly 333-136A and 20 hammer blades. Duckfoot and heavy-duty Y are different optional rotor assemblies. Manual p30 requires a dealer rotor-assembly change to change blade style; individual blades are not interchangeable between these rotors.
• The 72-inch working width is separate from the 84-inch overall width. The hitch has center and 10-inch right-offset mounting positions, not a hydraulic side-shift cylinder. Offset is a mounting displacement, not a measured distance beyond a tractor tire.
• PTO input is 540 rpm. The published 2,450 rpm is rotor speed, and Category 4 identifies the driveline rather than the three-point hitch category.
• Brush rake inclusion is inconsistent: assembly p15 and the brochure call it optional, while the manual p39 count row says standard. The matching rake kit is 333-092A (9 teeth, 53 lb reference assembly weight). Confirm the quoted equipment and load.
• Manual p15 documents driveline installation and identifies accessory shaft 826-883C for a quick hitch. Pages 18–20 require tractor-specific driveline checks; a quick-hitch label does not establish that the quoted shaft fits the tractor or both hitch positions.
• Cutting height has seven manual settings from 0 to 6 inches. The optional rake is to be removed for grass-only mowing or heights of 5 inches and above (manual pp15,24).
• Ask a Land Pride dealer for an itemized quote covering the selected width, complete hammer rotor, rake choice, shaft, setup and delivery.

Unit weight

Manual p39 specifies 1,040 lb for the standard unit with a duckfoot rotor; the brochure lists 1,040 lb without a rotor/inclusion basis. The separate hammer-rotor assembly is 261 lb. No complete hammer operating mass or shipping mass is established. Do not add the rotor to an already rotor-inclusive unit weight or substitute these references for the operating load.

Hydraulics

PTO-driven rotor with manually selected center or 10-inch right-offset hitch positions. No external hydraulic motor or side-shift circuit is specified for FM25; remote flow and pressure are not applicable to the documented fixed-position mower. Tractor three-point lifting is a separate requirement.

Accessories & setup

Specify hammer rotor assembly 333-136A in the quote. Brush rake kit 333-092A is described as optional in the assembly instructions; inclusion needs confirmation. Manual p15 identifies accessory quick-hitch driveline 826-883C. Confirm the supplied standard shaft, hitch pins/bushings, dealer assembly, lubrication and tractor-specific shaft sizing.
