Sources for this decision table (18)

FH-EFGC155 or FM-62

Farmer-Helper lists FH-EFGC155 at 25–65 PTO hp with a 60-inch cut; WoodMaxx FM-62 at 24–45 with a 55-inch cut. Both fit the 35C with room. The comparison below sets them side by side.

A third of a horsepower

WoodMaxx gives FM-78 30–65 PTO hp. The gear 35C is 0.3 short and the HST 2. The Farmall 35A, re-rated to 31.0 / 30.1 in 2026, reaches it.

Basis decides TMG and Land Pride

TMG lists 30–60 hp and Land Pride FM2560 33–80 hp without a basis. The 35-hp engine is inside both; neither PTO figure is.

Lift

FM-62H at 860 lb is the heaviest mower here, under even New Holland’s 1,345-lb figure for the matching Boomer 35.

Farmry HFS87: 87-inch cut, Category I and II

Farmry rates the HFS87 at 30–85 hp without saying whether that is PTO or engine power, lists Category I and II, cuts 87 inches and weighs 1,299 lb with the shaft. Its 35 engine hp is inside, but the 29.7 / 28 PTO hp are 0.3 / 2 short of 30, so the answer depends on which figure Farmry means; ask before buying. Its published lift at 24 inches, 1,808 lb, carries that weight with 509 lb to spare; check front ballast all the same. Its gearbox rating, 50 hp, is not below this tractor’s PTO power. The 87-inch cut is 3 inches wider than Land Pride’s FM2584. Farmry’s page listed it at $4,499 on November 14, 2026.

Farmer-Helper FH-EF standard-duty mowers

Farmer-Helper rates its standard-duty FH-EF mowers by PTO power, all to 45 PTO hp with a 45-hp gearbox: the EF95 (37-inch cut) from 15, the EF105 (41-inch) from 16 and the EF125 (48-inch) from 20. They carry Y-blades for grass and light brush. The Case IH Farmall 35C’s 29.7 / 28 PTO hp is inside all three. Its published lift at 24 inches, 1,808 lb, carries even the 390-lb EF125 with 1,418 lb to spare. Betstco listed them at $1,462, $1,547 and $1,632 on November 14, 2026, with the PTO shaft included.
