| Mower | Published requirement | On 85.5 PTO / 100.6 engine hp | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blue Diamond 403740 (87-inch) | 75–100 hp, basis unspecified; Category I and II | Inside on 85.5 PTO; 0.6 over on 100.6 engine | Ask Blue Diamond |
| Land Pride FM2572 / FM2584 | 42 / 49–80 hp, basis unspecified; Category 1 and 2 | 5.5 over on PTO; 20.6 over on engine | Excluded |
| Land Pride FM2560 | 33–80 hp; Category 1 | Over and hitch mismatch | Excluded |
| WoodMaxx FM-78 / FM-78H / FM-78 Y | 30–65 PTO hp; Category 1 and 2 | 20.5 over | Excluded |
| Farmer-Helper FH-EFGC155 / 125 | To 65 PTO hp (page); Category 1 | Over and hitch mismatch | Excluded |
| TMG; WoodMaxx FM-62 / FM-54; Farmry | To 60 hp or less; Category 1 | Over and hitch mismatch | Excluded |
Both Land Pride FM25 mowers list Category 1 and 2 and run to 80 hp. The MT7101 is over that on either reading, so neither is screened as a match. The comparison below shows how the two differ on smaller tractors.
A flail mower’s published maximum is its maker’s limit for the gearbox and driveline. This site does not screen past it. Of the flail mowers here, only Blue Diamond’s 403740 lists a range that reaches 85.5 PTO hp, and the MT7101’s engine is 0.6 over its 100.
Ask Blue Diamond whether its 75–100 hp means engine or PTO power. The 403740 cuts 87 inches, covering the 78.7-inch tractor, weighs 1,763 lb before the shaft against 5,952 lb of lift, and needs a rear remote for its side shift.
LS’s September 2025 owner manual lists 5,952 lb 24 inches behind the lift point (8,378 lb at the link ends). Lift is not the limit for any attachment here; power is.
THE SCREEN, WITH ITS LIMITS VISIBLE
No pairing below is manufacturer-confirmed. “Preliminary” still requires implement limits, load center, ballast, hitch geometry and shaft checks.
