Hi Paul, Tjames1991 and Max
My best guess was this was a model targeted at
contractors, councils and governments.
[the headline and copy says that, as you know].

At this time - late 1960s - there was a conscious effort to
distinguish domestic from commercial mowers.

Whilst domestic mowers were on a safety push, commercial
mower design remained 'steady as she goes'.

For me, the 350625 was the final take on the earlier 35060,
also aimed at the non-domestic market ...

By the 1980s, commercial mowers had to embrace safety too.

Cheers
