TYM T394 · FLAIL MOWERS
The mechanical ROPS T394’s 30.2 PTO hp puts the fixed FM-62 and FM-78 into different practical comparisons. The 55-inch FM-62 is only 1.5 inches wider in total than the tractor’s published 53.5-inch width. FM-78 adds 15 inches of cut, but its 30-hp minimum is just 0.2 below the tractor rating—and its Y version does not have a lower minimum than hammers.

THE DECISION IN NUMBERS
30.2 PTO hp is from the exact mechanical ROPS column, not the separate 30-hp T394C cab figure. Nominal width arithmetic is not verified tire coverage or productivity. Complete Y-specific operating masses remain unknown.
Scroll the table sideways on smaller screens.
| Mower configuration | PTO range | Result at 30.2 PTO hp | Cut / load evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| FM-54 Y | 15–25 hp | 5.2 above published maximum | 47-inch cut |
| FM-62 Y | 20–45 hp | Inside band, 10.2 above minimum | 55-inch cut; Y operating weight unknown |
| FM-62 hammer | 24–45 hp | Inside band, 6.2 above minimum | 55-inch cut; 774 lb manual product figure, inclusions unresolved |
| FM-78 Y | 30–65 hp; same as hammers | Only 0.2 above minimum | 70-inch cut; Y operating weight unknown |
FM-62 actually cuts 55 inches and FM-78 cuts 70. Against the T394’s published 53.5-inch overall width, their total nominal surplus is 1.5 and 16.5 inches. The fixed mower’s listed left/right extents describe placement, not verified cutting-edge reach. Measure actual tires and mounting position before assuming either covers both tracks. The wider cut also changes gate clearance and the area engaged in vegetation; no equal-speed or output claim follows from the shared tractor.
FM-62 Y starts at 20 PTO hp while its hammer version starts at 24, and this mechanical T394 is above both. FM-78 Y and hammer versions both start at 30 and end at 65. Choose the rotor for the documented material guidance and delivered configuration rather than assuming Y-blades create extra PTO margin on FM-78. WoodMaxx says the purchased configurations are not interchangeable; a blade kit is not evidence that conversion is approved.
TYM’s current specification lists one or two remotes as optional, so a T394 model badge does not establish that the outlets are fitted. The fixed FM-62 and FM-78 models avoid hydraulic side-shift plumbing. The H hammer variants need rear remotes, but their required circuit flow, pressure and valve arrangement still need confirmation. The tractor’s 6.1 gpm implement figure is distinct from the 10.5 gpm total and is not a measured guarantee at a rear coupler.
The selected T394 sources give 1,558 lb at 24 inches and 2,639 lb at the end ball joints. The older mechanical manual’s 1,764 lb behind-link-ends row omits its distance, so it cannot replace the current at-24-inch figure. Fixed FM-62 and FM-78 manual product weights also disagree with page mower-only figures and do not identify complete Y-specific operating loads. Confirm shaft, oil, adapters and center of gravity before judging lift, ballast or transport.
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. The TYM T394’s 30.2 PTO hp and 37.4 engine hp are both inside that range, though PTO power is only 0.2 hp above the minimum. Its published lift at 24 inches, 1,558 lb, is only 259 lb more than the mower’s weight, so weigh the complete mower and check ballast first. 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 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 TYM T394’s 30.2 PTO hp is inside all three. Its published lift at 24 inches, 1,558 lb, carries even the 390-lb EF125 with 1,168 lb to spare. Betstco listed them at $1,462, $1,547 and $1,632 on November 14, 2026, with the PTO shaft included.
