Past FM-54 Y

WoodMaxx’s manual gives FM-54 with Y-blades 15–25 PTO hp. The HST 1M.35 is 0.7 over and the mechanical 2.5 over. FM-62 with Y-blades (20–45) is the next size and fits both. The comparison below sets FM-62 Y against FM-54 Y.

Short of FM-78

FM-78 starts at 30 PTO hp. The 1M.40 mechanical (30.0) meets it exactly; neither 1M.35 does.

Width

The 1M.35 is 67.5 inches wide at minimum. FH-EFGC155 and TFM60 cut 60 inches and FM-62 55; none covers the track in one pass. Farmry’s 87-inch HFS87 would, but both PTO figures are under its 30-hp minimum, so it fits only if Farmry means engine hp.

Lift

Massey Ferguson lists 2,535 lb at 24 inches. FM-62H at 860 lb is the heaviest mower here.

Farmry HFS87: 87-inch cut, Category I and II

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. Its 36.2 engine hp is inside, but the 27.5 / 25.7 PTO hp are 2.5 / 4.3 short of 30, so the answer depends on which figure Farmry means; ask before buying. Its published lift at 24 inches, 2,535 lb, carries that weight with 1,236 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.

Farmer-Helper FH-EF standard-duty mowers

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 Massey Ferguson MF 1M.35’s 27.5 / 25.7 PTO hp is inside all three. Its published lift at 24 inches, 2,535 lb, carries even the 390-lb EF125 with 2,145 lb to spare. Betstco listed them at $1,462, $1,547 and $1,632 on November 14, 2026, with the PTO shaft included.
