Kubota B2301 · FLAIL MOWERS

Flail mowers for the Kubota B2301

For the B2301HSD, mower width is a useful decision after the power basis is resolved. The nominal 45.3-inch minimum-tread tractor width equals the LFS45 cutting width, while 17.4 PTO hp limits how much extra width should be assumed to work in demanding material.

THE DECISION IN NUMBERS

The narrowest mower has no nominal overlap

Kubota gives 45.3 inches at minimum tread. Installed tires and wheel settings can change the measurement. These differences are total widths; they do not establish performance at 17.4 PTO hp.

Scroll the table sideways on smaller screens.

MowerPublished cutDifference from 45.3-inch nominal tractor width
LFS4545.3 inches0.0 inches
LFS5353.1 inches7.8 inches
LFS6161.0 inches15.7 inches

Equal nominal widths do not guarantee a clean pass

The current Kubota catalog gives 45.3 inches at minimum tread; LFS45’s published cutting width is also 45.3 inches. That offers no nominal side overlap. Measure the actual outside tire width and consider the overlap needed around turns or uneven edges before selecting the narrowest deck.

Price the extra width as a work requirement

LFS53 adds 7.8 inches of cutting width over LFS45 and 40 lb of listed weight including the shaft. LFS61 reaches 61 inches and 421 lb. Those increments are easy to compare, but the B2301’s 1,411 lb at-24-inch lift rating does not tell you how quickly 17.4 PTO hp can cut dense vegetation across the wider deck. Ask Farmry about material limits and a workable width for the actual job.

Hydraulic output does not settle a PTO mower decision

The LFS models in this catalog are fixed mowers without a hydraulic side-shift ram. B2301’s advertised 8.3 gpm is explicitly total pump output; it should not be used to approve a different mower that needs remotes. For these LFS choices, first resolve the 15–35 hp engine-versus-PTO ambiguity and then check hitch travel, driveline setup and ballast. The 30 hp minimum of TMG-TFM60 exceeds both B2301 engine and PTO ratings.

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 Kubota B2301’s 17.4 PTO hp is inside the EF95 / EF105 but short of the EF125’s 20-hp minimum. Its published lift at 24 inches, 1,411 lb, carries even the 347-lb EF105 with 1,064 lb to spare. Betstco listed them at $1,462 and $1,547 on November 14, 2026, with the PTO shaft included.
