Tilt steering, ample legroom and foot space and three-passenger bench front seat come standard on the 3600. The 3650 comes standard with bucket seats and integrated controls for the Multi-Attachment X-Change (M.A.X.) system, which powers front-mounted PTO-driven attachments, including an angle broom, mower and snowblower, as well as non-PTO attachments such as a bucket, grapple, pallet fork and snow blade. Seven attachments, combined with a maximum lift height of 2-feet and rated lift capacity of 500 pounds, add versatility.
For better attachment control, operators can use the throttle independent of the travel control pedal. This feature allows operators to set the engine speed with a throttle rather than having to use the accelerator pedal to increase engine rpm. Separating the two functions gives operators the freedom to run powered attachments more efficiently with the rpm they require yet at low travel speeds.
Automatic engine shutdown is standard, shutting down the engine if it registers high engine coolant temperature or high hydraulic oil temperature.
