The FM-350 allows you to mount your 3PT hitch snow blower to the front of your tractor resulting in improved
visibility and ergonomics. The Schulte FM-350 is designed for simple and quick tractor mounting and removal.
Once mounted to the tractor all pushing force is transmitted to the snow blower through the tractor drawbar.
Tension screws at the rear drawbar ensure that the tractor sees only vertical load at the frame mounting points.
The FM-350 is available with or without a drive package. Ordering without drives allows an operator to utilize
the Schulte SV Plow in front of the tractor while keeping the rear 3-Point open for a Schulte snow blower. The
FM-350 with drives is a perfect match for Schulte model SDX or RDX snow blowers. The drive line is capable
of transferring 250 HP to the snow blower. Parallel shaft gearboxes are available to power either 540 RPM
snow blowers (for example, the Schulte SDX960) or 1000 RPM snow blowers (for example the Schulte
SDX110). The drive line is fully shielded to meet the latest safety standards.
It is mandatory that all operators of this implement read this manual or be instructed of its contents regarding
safety, proper operation, and maintenance before beginning operation.

'LEFT' means the side that is to the left when the operator is facing in the normal forward direction of the
