Mahindra 1626 · FLAIL MOWERS
A 1626 has room for light flails, not hammer-rotor classes. FM-54 Y and the Farmry LFS series stay inside their ranges on either transmission. FM-62 Y needs the Shuttle’s 21.5 PTO hp. FH-EFGC125’s 22-hp minimum is unresolved because its page and manual use different horsepower bases.

THE DECISION IN NUMBERS
Tractor reference: 1626 HST 19 PTO hp and Shuttle 21.5 PTO hp, 24.8 engine hp (standard unnamed); tractor overall width 63 in. (not rear track width). No Mahindra manual flail width or weight limit was located. Product weights are retained figures, not complete operating loads.

| Mower | Published requirement and cut | 1626 HST (19 PTO) | 1626 Shuttle (21.5 PTO) |
|---|---|---|---|
| WoodMaxx FM-54 Y | 15–25 PTO hp; 47-in. cut; 408 lb | Inside range | Inside range |
| Farmry LFS45 / LFS53 / LFS61 | 15–35 hp, basis unspecified; 45.3–61 in. | Inside on either basis | Inside on either basis |
| Farmer-Helper FH-EF95 / EF105 / EF125 | 15 / 16 / 20–45 PTO hp; Category I; 37 / 41 / 48-in. cut | Under EF125 (1 short) | Inside; 1.5 above EF125’s 20 |
| WoodMaxx FM-62 Y | 20–45 PTO hp; 55-in. cut | 1.0 hp below: excluded | 1.5 hp above minimum |
| Farmer-Helper FH-EFGC125 | Page: 22–65 PTO hp. Manual: 22 HP, PTO on gear tractors, engine on hydro | Page: 3.0 below. Manual: 24.8 engine clears by 2.8. Unresolved | 0.5 hp below on both readings: excluded |
| WoodMaxx FM-62 hammer | 24–45 PTO hp | 5.0 hp below: excluded | 2.5 hp below: excluded |
WoodMaxx publishes different minimums for the same 55-inch FM-62 body: 20 PTO hp with Y-blades and 24 with hammers. On a 1626 Shuttle, that means the Y configuration clears by 1.5 hp while the hammer configuration is 2.5 hp short. On the HST, neither FM-62 configuration is inside its range. WoodMaxx points Y-blades toward grass and hammers toward saplings up to an inch, and states the two are not interchangeable after purchase, so the material you mow decides which range matters.
Betstco’s current page lists 22–65 PTO hp. The linked Revision 12-12-17 manual table lists a 22 HP minimum with a footnote: PTO horsepower for gear-transmission tractors and engine horsepower for hydro tractors. Under the page, neither 1626 qualifies. Under the manual, the Shuttle (gear, 21.5 PTO) is still 0.5 hp short, but the HST (hydro, 24.8 engine) would clear. Two documents give opposite answers for the HST, so treat it as unresolved and ask Betstco which rule governs the delivered mower.
FM-54 Y (15–25 PTO hp, 47-inch cut) and the Farmry LFS45, LFS53 and LFS61 (15–35 hp, basis unspecified) fall inside their published ranges whether engine or PTO horsepower is meant. That does not settle the purchase. FM-54’s manual documents a shaft slip-clutch pack and an internal overrunning gearbox, while the LFS records leave the power basis open. Ask each seller what the delivered driveline includes.
Mahindra lists a 63-inch overall width for the 1626 but does not publish rear track width in the reviewed table. A 61-inch LFS61 or 55-inch FM-62 may still cut inside or outside the wheel path depending on the hitch offset and actual track. Use the existing width-and-track guide, measure the tractor, and ask the mower seller for the offset positions before choosing a width.
The 1626 HST is listed with a “Live” PTO and no overrunning note; the Shuttle lists an independent PTO. A flail rotor keeps turning after power is removed. FM-54 builds an overrunning function into its gearbox; other mowers may rely on the tractor or a shaft component. Confirm what the actual tractor and the chosen mower each provide before assuming one covers the other.
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 Mahindra 1626’s 19 / 21.5 PTO hp is inside all three. Its published lift at 24 inches, 1,720 lb, carries even the 390-lb EF125 with 1,330 lb to spare. Betstco listed them at $1,462, $1,547 and $1,632 on November 14, 2026, with the PTO shaft included.
