I think anybody owning a tractor should have a ROPS on his tractor. Don't have one myself but went in a Case dealership the other day and had one priced for my MF165 and was surprised to find out that those things are very expensive,about $875 worth, to expensive for me rigth now. Now I read about bbott's ROPS. At the dealership, he told me that in Nova Scotia they were pushing hard to have the ROPS mandatory, here in New Brun swick I'm not sure. The dealer also told me that the ROPS would be certified. A self made one is better than none at all. The dealer also told me that if I hired somebody to work for me and used my tractor that I should have a ROPS, which would help me legaly in case of an accident?? But when I see what bbott is doing, that ROPS seem to be made out of material that is strong enough to protect the driver. So what is a person to do if he wants some protection?
