| Mower | Published requirement | On 87 PTO / 99 engine hp | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blue Diamond 403740 (87-inch) | 75–100 hp, basis unspecified; Category I and II | Inside on both (87 PTO / 99 engine) | Fits |
| Land Pride FM2572 / FM2584 | 42 / 49–80 hp, basis unspecified; Category 1 and 2 | 7 over on PTO; 19 over on engine | Excluded |
| WoodMaxx FM-78 / FM-78H / FM-78 Y | 30–65 PTO hp; Category 1 and 2 | 22 over | Excluded |
| Land Pride FM2560 | 33–80 hp; Category 1 | Over and hitch mismatch | 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 |
Land Pride FM2584 runs to 80 hp and WoodMaxx FM-78 to 65 PTO hp; the MF 4710 is over both on either reading. The comparison below shows how they differ on the smaller MF 4707, which fits both.
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 87 PTO hp.
Blue Diamond rates its heavy-duty 87-inch 403740 at 75–100 hp without saying engine or PTO, lists Category I and II, and ships it with 18 inches of hydraulic side shift. The MF 4710 is inside on both figures, its 99 engine hp 1 under the ceiling. It weighs 1,763 lb before the PTO shaft and needs a double-acting rear remote for the side shift.
AGCO lists the MF 4700’s rear linkage as ASAE Category II with telescopic ball ends and a Category 2 drawbar clevis. Category 1-only attachments such as Woodland Mills WC88 and Land Pride FM2560 would need bushings or a quick hitch approved in writing; this site screens them out.
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.
