I feel horrible even having to ask this, but I am so new to this whole tractor game. What does ROPS mean in the world of tractor jargon. I often see it when new tractors are for sale it says tractor has ROPS. My only guess is it means something like Remote Operating ? ? Can someone please tell me what it means and what it is used for? Thank you.

Roll over protection structure (a roll bar or cage).

Roll Over Protection System. It is a sort of frame that goes over the seat of the tractor and keeps the driver from being completely crushed in case of a rollover. I have never had a tractor with it myself.

This reminds me of an old story here on YT. Hope it works. Read the whole post. Joe

I do not like using abbreviations for things we are not familiar with. One of my first jobs after getting out of the Army was with a farm equipment dealer network. My job was to travel with the service manager and train to be a service manager and do the dirty work such as driver, parts inventory and maintain the service truck. My official title was Assistant to the Service Supervisor, Very impressive title but there was something lacking in the abbreviation. Seems too many people were too lazy to say Assistant to the Service Supervisor

If you googled it you wouldn't have to make a post calling your question stupid. {which was not dumb if you wanted to know]
Since you asked a guy I havent seen in a few years thought ROPS was a Rear OPerators Station. These were only on backhoes. So when asked was EROPS was, he said those were Electronic Rear OPerators Station. As in the new backhoes with pilots controls that are not a direct linkage to the valves.

Nope I've been ask stupid questions. Bout the worst was a young soldier, standing in 12" of fresh snow, with 20 or so other soldiers in sight shoveling snow on the tank line, ask "what am I supposed to do with this SGT?" when I handed him a snow shove. You really don't want to hear what I told him.
