Kubota BX1880 flail mowers: only on engine power

No flail mower on this site lists a minimum below 15 hp. Farmry’s LFS45, LFS53 and LFS61 are rated 15–35 hp without a basis: the BX1880’s 16.6 gross hp is inside and its 13.7 PTO hp is 1.3 short. WoodMaxx FM-54 Y (15–25 PTO hp) is short.

Farmry’s basis decides

Farmry rates its LFS mowers at 15–35 hp without saying engine or PTO. If Farmry means engine horsepower, the BX1880 is 1.6 inside; if PTO, 1.3 short. Ask Farmry before ordering. The comparison below sets LFS45 against LFS53.

Width against a 44-inch tractor

The BX1880 is 44.1 inches wide at minimum tread. LFS45 cuts 45.3 inches and LFS53 53.1, so both cover the tractor’s track; a narrower mower gives more power margin.

Weight

LFS45 is 355 lb with its shaft and LFS53 395, both well under the 680-lb lift.

The realistic choice

For regular flail mowing, the BX2380 (17.7 PTO hp) and BX2680 (19.2) clear the 15-PTO-hp ratings that the BX1880 misses.

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.
