LS MT352 · FLAIL MOWERS
On a Category 2 MT352 the flail shortlist is WoodMaxx’s 70-inch FM-78 family and Land Pride’s FM2572 and FM2584. FM-78 is inside its 30–65-PTO-hp range by more than 11 hp. The Land Pride models depend on the horsepower basis: 52 engine hp clears both minimums, while the PTO figures miss FM2584’s 49 and, for the HST’s 41.6, miss FM2572’s 42 by 0.4.

THE DECISION IN NUMBERS
Tractor reference: MT352 gear 44.2 and MT352H HST 41.6 PTO hp by the 2025 brochure (reversed on the current web page); 52 gross engine hp; Category 2 in current LS sources; 62.5 in. overall width with tires; 2,469 lb at 24 inches (owner manual). No LS manual flail limit was found.

| Mower | Published requirement | On PTO hp (gear 44.2 / HST 41.6) | On 52 engine hp / hitch |
|---|---|---|---|
| WoodMaxx FM-78 hammer / FM-78 Y / FM-78H | 30–65 PTO hp; 70-in. cut; Cat 2 with bushings | +14.2 / +11.6 | PTO-rated; Cat 2 documented |
| Land Pride FM2584 (hammer) | 49–80 hp, basis unspecified; 84-in. cut; Cat I/II | Below 49 on both | Clears by 3.0: basis decides |
| Land Pride FM2572 (hammer) | 42–80 hp, basis unspecified; 72-in. cut; Cat I/II | Gear +2.2; HST 0.4 below | Clears by 10: basis and transmission decide |
| Farmry HFS87 | 30–85 hp, basis unspecified; Category I/II; 87-in. cut | Inside | Inside |
| Land Pride FM2560 / TMG TFM60 / TFMS50 | 33–80 / 30–60 hp; Cat 1 | Power inside | Hitch does not overlap: excluded |
| WoodMaxx FM-62 / Farmer-Helper EFGC / Farmry LFP47 | 24–65 PTO-rated or unspecified; Cat 1 | Power inside | Hitch does not overlap: excluded |
| Farmry LFS series / WoodMaxx FM-54 Y | 15–35 hp / 15–25 PTO hp; Cat 1 | Over the maximum | Excluded on power and hitch |
WoodMaxx lists 30–65 PTO hp for FM-78 with either blade set and for the hydraulic-shift FM-78H. Both MT352 PTO figures are well inside, so LS’s gear/HST dispute does not change this answer. WoodMaxx’s current manual supports Category 2 mounting with bushings, while lower text on the FM-78 page says Category 1 only; confirm the hitch revision and that the bushings are in the quote. FM-78H also needs a rear remote, and LS lists two pairs as standard on ROPS tractors.
FM2584 lists 49–80 tractor hp and FM2572 42–80, neither naming engine or PTO. On engine power, 52 clears both. On PTO power, FM2584 is out of reach on either figure. FM2572 is cleared by the brochure’s gear figure (44.2) and missed by 0.4 hp at the HST’s 41.6. If the web page’s assignment is right, the HST would clear and the gear tractor would miss. That one mower depends on three unresolved questions.
LS lists 62.5 inches overall width with tires. FM-78 cuts 70 inches, FM2572 72 and FM2584 84 with a 96-inch overall width. All three cut wider than the tractor’s listed overall width, but rear track is not published and offset varies: FM2584 mounts center or 10 inches right, FM-78 has fixed extents of 33 inches left and 46 right. Check gate and storage width against the overall mower dimension, not the cut.
Land Pride’s manual lists FM2584 at 1,236 lb with a duckfoot rotor and its hammer rotor assembly separately at 301 lb; FM-78’s manual lists 880 lb. LS’s September 2025 owner manual lists 2,469 lb 24 inches behind the lift point, about twice FM2584’s listed weight. A heavy, wide mower hangs well behind the lift points, so ask for front ballast guidance before choosing FM2584.
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 LS MT352’s 44.2 / 41.6 PTO hp and 52 engine hp are both inside that range, so the basis does not change the result. Its published lift at 24 inches, 2,469 lb, carries that weight with 1,170 lb to spare; check front ballast all the same. Its gearbox rating, 50 hp, is not below this tractor’s PTO power. 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.
