Case IH Farmall Utility 50A flail mowers: LFP47 at 45 or FM-78

Sources for this decision table (19)

LFP47 or FM-78

Farmry LFP47 (47-inch) stops at 45 hp; WoodMaxx FM-78 (70-inch) runs 30–65 PTO hp. The utility 50A is at LFP47’s limit and well inside FM-78. The comparison below sets them side by side.

Width

A 53-hp utility tractor’s rear tires are usually wider than a 47-inch cut; FM-78 (70 in.) or Land Pride FM2572 (72 in.) covers them.

Basis decides FM2584

Land Pride lists FM2584 from 49 hp. The engine clears it by 4; the PTO is 4 short.

Lift

FM-78H at 968 lb is the heaviest mower here, far under the 2,701-lb lift at 24 inches.

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. The Case IH Farmall Utility 50A’s 45 PTO hp and 53 engine hp are both inside that range, so the basis does not change the result. Its published lift at 24 inches, 2,701 lb, carries that weight with 1,402 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 Utility 50A’s 45 PTO hp is inside all three, 0 under the ceiling. Its published lift at 24 inches, 2,701 lb, carries even the 390-lb EF125 with 2,311 lb to spare. This tractor has the power for heavier mowers; the FH-EF line suits grass and light growth, not thick brush. Betstco listed them at $1,462, $1,547 and $1,632 on November 14, 2026, with the PTO shaft included.
