Wish more people were aware of this and they had more prominent advertising of this program. Lost a friend last summer, flipped it over on himself fooling with a stump. Distant cousin, some years back now, same thing, tried to get a small crawler unstuck with an N series. Obviously the best defense is to avoid situations with this risk, but that is not always possible and is why the ROPS and a seat with a safety belt can make all the difference if by chance you do end up going over.
I really like the fold down ROPS on my 4630 Ford/New Holland tractor. Allows me to park it in a heated garage, fold down when I need to, or put up when at risk. Caveat with these is that a person has to make a decision to put it up and wear the safety belt. We have 115,000 volt lines bisecting one field and I avoid the area in the hot weather as the lines sag down to much for my liking. When I do go under them when it is cooler, I unfold the ROPS to reduce the height of steel relative to those lines. Not friendly to a sun canopy, having to stay up all the time but they are handy for some operators.
BTW, the 2 post ones you have fabricated + the other new appurtenances for working in the woods look good on those tractors.I wondered what you considered in regards to the ROPS part of it. Just sun canopies or are they substantial enough to work as ROPS. Nice CASE herd you have there, all the way around. You would have a blast in our steel shop, just the cut off's alone !
