The 4540 4WD lists 31 PTO hp from a 41-hp engine, 1.0 hp above the 30-hp minimum that the 1640 Shuttle just misses. It also lists 3,527 lb of lift at 24 inches and a Category 1 and 2 hitch, so the larger flail mowers are inside its published ranges. The same 31 hp puts it over the 30-hp ceiling of small chippers.
