Major pivot points must utilize spring steel tension bushings and induction-hardened pins. Hydraulic and mechanical requirements include a minimum of four hydraulic circuits with independent wing lift for the 15-foot mower, a heavy-duty three-and-a-half by 36-inch welded hydraulic cylinder, and an optional six-port selector valve kit for independent wing action on tractors with limited hydraulic outlets. Power delivery requires a minimum rating of 200 horsepower at 1,000 RPM while accommodating 540 RPM power delivery from the tractor. A safety lighting kit is also required.
