proper warning lighting and a Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) emblem which are clearly visible from the rear of
the unit. Lights and a SMV emblem must be equipped directly on implements if the visibility of the tractor
warning signals are obscured.

2.3 Tractor Horsepower

The power required to operate a mower is determined by the tractor PTO horsepower. For most mowing
conditions, the 3510 Series lift mower requires a tractor with at least 75 HP and the semi-mount and pull type
mower require at least 50 HP. Operating the mower with a tractor that does not have adequate power may
damage the tractor engine. Exceeding 90 HP may cause mower damage by overpowering the unit in heavy
cutting conditions.

rated to lift at least 1818 lbs.
The Model 3510 Series is designed to be mounted

Refer to the tractor operator's manual for the
category of the tractor being used. If the hitch does
not conform to ASABE dimensions, the mower may
not fit or raise properly. Consult an authorized
