TFMS50 or FM-78

TMG TFMS50 has hydraulic side shift and a 50-PTO-hp cap; WoodMaxx FM-78 runs 30–65 PTO hp. The 65A is exactly at TMG’s cap and well inside FM-78. The comparison below sets them side by side.

Engine vs TMG’s table

TMG’s product table lists 30–60 hp; the 65A’s 64-hp engine is over it, though its PTO rating is at the manual’s 50 cap. Ask TMG which applies.

Width

FM2584 cuts 84 inches and FM-78 70; a 64-hp utility tractor’s tires suit the wider mowers.

Cab clearance

Check that the mower gearbox and top link clear the rear window when raised.

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 65A’s 50 PTO hp and 64 engine hp are both inside that range, so the basis does not change the result. Its published lift at 24 inches, 4,300 lb, carries that weight with 3,001 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.
