Two mower lines fit

Farmry rates its LFS mowers at 15–35 hp; the B2401 is inside on either basis. WoodMaxx rates FM-54 with Y-blades at 15–25 PTO hp; the B2401 is 4.2 inside. The comparison below sets LFS45 against FM-54 Y.

0.8 short of FM-62 Y

WoodMaxx’s FM-62 with Y-blades starts at 20 PTO hp. The B2401 is 0.8 short; the B2601 HST (19.4) is 0.6 short.

Narrow DTN

The B2401DTN is 35.6 inches wide. LFS45 cuts 45.3 inches and FM-54 47, so either reaches well past the tractor’s wheels. That suits mowing along rows but adds side load; check ballast.

Weight

LFS45 is 355 lb with its shaft, LFS61 421 and FM-54 408, all far under 1,290 lb.

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 B2401’s 19.2 PTO hp is inside the EF95 / EF105 but short of the EF125’s 20-hp minimum. Its published lift at 24 inches, 1,290 lb, carries even the 347-lb EF105 with 943 lb to spare. Betstco listed them at $1,462 and $1,547 on November 14, 2026, with the PTO shaft included.
