I don't know anything about building ROPS for a tractor but to touch on a couple of points on other posts. With loader watch you don't get it too high with a load in it especially on a hill. A guy I worked for as a teen was killed about 15yrs. ago when he was going down and across (sideways) a hill with bucket full of dirt, bucket up, tractor rolled, crushed him. Was a fairly new tractor, had ROP, he wasn't wearing seatbelt. So as another post said rollbar is no good without seatbelt. Was also a guy killed a few years back around here when a round roll of hay rolled over on him when he picked it up with front end loader, you have to have the spike on the loader to pick these up safely.
