What model tractor? Like the other guys said, liability is a huge issue, and only a properly installed factory IH ROPS will meet those requirements. IH did offer factory ROPS for most bigger tractors built in the 1960's and up, and smaller ones in the late '70's and up. You should be able to find one of those in a salvage yard for a small fortune. If it's older than that, IH probably did not even offer a ROPS kit, as the mounting points on the tractor may not have been strong enough. I will agree that I'd rather have one of those non-certified aftermarket "sunshades" that are exact reproductions of the originals than nothing, as the ones I've seen are very well built, and just might save your life. Remember that the ROPS is worthless unless you are wearing a properly installed seatbelt.
