LS MT463 · FLAIL MOWERS
At 54.1 PTO hp the MT463 is 4.1 over TMG’s 50-PTO-hp manual caps and 9.1 over the 45-hp mowers, and its hitch is Category 2 only. WoodMaxx FM-78 (30–65 PTO hp, Cat 1/2) and Land Pride FM2572 and FM2584 (42 and 49–80 hp, Cat 1 and 2) fit on both counts.

| Farmer-Helper FH-EFGC155 / 125 | 25 / 22–65 PTO hp (page) | Inside on power | Cat 1 only: excluded |
| TMG TFM60 / TFMS50 | 30–60 hp; manual cap 50 PTO hp | 4.1 over the cap | Cat 1 only: excluded |
| WoodMaxx FM-62 family; Farmry LFP47 | To 45 hp | Over | Cat 1 only: excluded |
WoodMaxx’s manual gives FM-78 30–65 PTO hp with a 70-inch cut. The MT463 has 10.9 hp of room under the ceiling. FM-78H adds hydraulic side shift and needs a rear remote; the MT463 has two rear pairs.
Land Pride rates FM2572 from 42 hp and FM2584 from 49, both to 80, without a basis. The MT463 is inside on its PTO and engine figures. FM2584’s 84-inch cut covers the tractor’s 72.6-inch width; FM2572’s 72 is 0.6 inch narrower. The comparison below sets FM2572 against FM-78.
LS documents the hitch as Category 2 only (manual: CAT. 2, ISO 730:2014). Most attachments on this site list Category 1 only, so this site screens them as not matching. Some can be mounted with bushings or a Category 1/2 quick hitch; ask the dealer and the attachment maker before relying on that.
FM-78 is 880 lb and FM-78H 968, well under the 3,483-lb lift at 24 inches.
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 MT463’s 54.1 PTO hp and 63 engine hp are both inside that range, so the basis does not change the result. Its published lift at 24 inches, 3,483 lb, carries that weight with 2,184 lb to spare; check front ballast all the same. Farmry rates the gearbox at only 50 hp, below this tractor’s 54.1 PTO hp; ask Farmry how hard it can be driven. 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.
