I'm building (2) myself this winter, one for
the ancient backhoe (JD 400) and a MF 165. I'm looking at and copying (as best as possible)
the various factory ROPS that I can find. Due
to the age of the equipment, and the fact that
they were never designed with ROPS in mind, I'll
have to be a bit inventive with the attachments. Basically, I'll figure what the factory did and then increase everything by 20 % if I can. If you have a loader, make sure you put protection
in front of the operator. Had a guy get killed here last year when he was
loading a round bale with his front end loader. It came over the top and crushed him in the seat. bbott
