Built on a four-wheel-drive chassis, the 3520 features power steering and wet disc brakes for reliable operation. The tractor comes standard with a two-post foldable ROPS, with a cab option available for increased operator comfort. Its wheelbase of 68 inches (172 cm) and compact dimensions allow for effective operation in restricted spaces.
