FM-78 or FM-78H

WoodMaxx FM-78 is fixed; FM-78H adds hydraulic side shift and weighs 968 lb. Both run 30–65 PTO hp. The comparison below sets them side by side.

Land Pride has the most room

Land Pride rates FM25 mowers to 80 hp. The 70A’s 70-hp engine and 62 PTO hp are both inside all three widths.

Farmer-Helper’s two ceilings

Farmer-Helper’s FH-EFGC page lists 65 PTO hp; its manual gives 80. The 70A is under both.

Lift

FM-78H at 968 lb is 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 70A’s 62 PTO hp and 70 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. Farmry rates the gearbox at only 50 hp, below this tractor’s 62 PTO hp; ask Farmry how hard it can be driven. 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.

THE SCREEN, WITH ITS LIMITS VISIBLE

Compare each configuration.

No pairing below is manufacturer-confirmed. “Preliminary” still requires implement limits, load center, ballast, hitch geometry and shaft checks.

Initial specification screen only. Scroll the table on small screens. Read the product page for every remaining check.
