FM-54 · Y-blades

THE BUYING PERSPECTIVE

Know before you order.

• Y-blade configuration only: current manual p40 lists 15–25 PTO hp. The hammer configuration requires 20–25 PTO hp; never apply the 15 hp minimum to hammers.
• The FM-54 name does not mean a 54-inch cut. Current page and manual both give 47 inches; overall width on the page is 56 inches.
• Manual specifies 18 Y-blade sets; page says 36 individual Y-blades. The hammer alternative has 18 individual hammers.
• Page states Y-blade and hammer-equipped mowers are not interchangeable. Order the required configuration rather than assuming a later blade swap.
• Manual gives 3/4–3-1/2-inch cutting height; page says 3/4–2-1/2 inches. Confirm usable height for the delivered revision.
• Use 540 rpm PTO input; 2,092 rpm is rotor speed.
• Current product weight and page mower-only-plus-shaft figures differ. Confirm the complete Y-blade assembly before any lift comparison.
• The November 7 price observation is for the black Y-blade SKU FM-54-0010. The general FM-54 photo does not independently verify the supplied rotor configuration.

Unit weight

408 lb — Current 2025-and-newer manual p40 lists 408 lb product weight without stating shaft inclusion. Page instead says 410 lb mower-only plus a 39 lb shaft. Do not treat 408 lb as a verified complete operating assembly; confirm delivered Y-blade weight. Shipping page figure is 500 lb.

Hydraulics

Fixed offset; current manual says no hydraulic side shift. No tractor remote circuit is required for offset adjustment; three-point lift remains necessary.

Accessories & setup

A 1-3/8-inch, six-spline PTO shaft with slip clutch is listed as included; the page also includes gearbox oil. Quick-hitch/bushing items are offered separately. Confirm shaft sizing, clutch setup and exact Cat 1 quick-hitch geometry.
