LS MT125 · FLAIL MOWERS

Flail mowers for the LS MT125

The MT125 manual sets a maximum 60-inch flail cutting width. That rules out the 61-inch LFS61 on the documented configuration before the generic horsepower band can be treated as encouraging. The useful comparison is among narrower decks whose blade, power and complete-load evidence still need checking.

THE DECISION IN NUMBERS

The MT125 manual adds a width check to the power check

Manual 52121611/19, printed p 4-36, explicitly identifies flail maximum cutting width as 60 inches. Values below that limit are not approvals; the actual tractor and implement manuals must still apply.

Scroll the table sideways on smaller screens.

Sources for this decision table (11)

A one-inch excess remains outside the documented limit

The implement table distinguishes flail cutting width from other implement dimensions and gives 1,524 mm, or 60 inches. LFS61 cuts 61 inches, so the fact that 17.2 PTO hp and 24.7 engine hp both sit inside its generic band does not settle the tractor requirement. The limit concerns actual cut, not the model number, transport envelope or the gearbox rating.

Compare the narrower decks around the actual tire footprint

LS lists 47 inches overall with tires; the manual diagram shows 1,187 mm outside the rear tires for its stated setup. LFS45 is narrower than that reference, FM-54 Y is approximately equal, and LFS53 offers a wider total cut. Fixed placement can leave one side short despite total width. Measure the tires and obtain cutting-edge positions rather than assuming the mower is centered.

Blade choice and weight evidence still separate the candidates

FM-54 Y has an explicit 15–25 PTO-hp range, but its 408 lb generic manual weight conflicts with the page’s mower-only and separate-shaft figures. Farmry lists shaft-inclusive assembly weights, yet does not identify the horsepower basis. Compare exact purchased configurations and the intended vegetation; no cut-quality, travel-speed or brush-capacity result has been tested here.

The lift rating and gross-mass limit answer different questions

MT125 publishes 728 lb at 24 inches and 992 lb at the link ends. Manual p 4-29 separately lists total and axle mass limits, including a 2,601 lb total. A complete mower load, its center of gravity, ballast and the equipped tractor must be assessed together. Remaining width allowance is not remaining lift capacity, and a successful hydraulic lift does not establish acceptable axle loads.

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 LS MT125’s 17.2 PTO hp is inside the EF95 / EF105 but short of the EF125’s 20-hp minimum. Its published lift at 24 inches, 728 lb, carries even the 347-lb EF105 with 381 lb to spare. Betstco listed them at $1,462 and $1,547 on November 14, 2026, with the PTO shaft included.
