Everything I have read on the Web, etc. says to always wear your seat belt if you have ROP installed. I have ROP on my tractor and normally wear the seat belt. However, I often use the tractor in the woods along a creek (hauling logs, etc.) When I am creeping along in unfamiliar territory at 1 mph, it seems to me that the seat belt would be a hazard. At this speed, I feel that if the tractor were to tip over, I could always jump off the opposite way the tractor is falling. If I were wearing a seat belt and the tractor tipped over into the stream, I can easily imagine a scenario where I would be knocked unconscious when the tractor landed on its side and I would then drown in the stream. I would appreciate getting the opinion of others who have had some experience in this area. Thanks. Terry
