Good points 12Bravo, do you do run a rear mount mower at all ? and on the turbo is there a kit for this ?

thanks
Mike

I run a bush hog and have not had a need for more power......except when I hit a pile of old concrete blocks that I had no idea were there. Lesson learned either mow high the first time or walk the area first.

I have less than 1/4 acre to mow my property is all wooded. So I push mow what little lawn I have, can't help on mowing with 2610.

If you are fine with a 5 foot mower, you should be okay from what I have read and heard. But I don't have first hand knowledge.

Yeah luckily it just nicked up one of the blades a little bit.

Okay so reading some posts here and one said something about the 3510 having a turbo from the factory....... however I can not find this in any Kioti literature. I'm leaning towards the 3510 for the extra HP as I kinda like the idea of having some in reserve. thanks for all the input I am going to go to the dealer tomorrow and look again and try to make a decision.

I don't have a kioti, but HP is not everything. My 28hp Mahindra has all the HP I will ever need. If I put it in low, 4wd, I will always spin the all the tires before I stall out from lack of power.

It's the weight/hp ratio that is more important than HP only.

I'd go for the 2610. I had a CK20 with 21hp and it ran a backhoe and a five foot finish mower with no problem at all. Never used a broadcast spreader but I imagine it doesn't use as much power as a mower.
