First off, your comment about kids not being able to sit on a tractors fenders is hog wash, I just addressed this sentiment on a similiar topic on the JD forum. Second, I was just pointing out that even though you stake your position on safety frequently, you are being a little bit of a hypocrit. Are you telling me your 80 has ROPS? I know it doesn't as well as probably several other models you own. I am fully aware of the need for PTO shaft protection devices, an incident in my family 50 years ago with a bale elevator is reminder of that. I do agree with you that there are alot of areas that can be guarded to prevent injury around farm inplements. My point was you keep throwing ROPS into the equation and don't follow your own teaching. The seat belt and ROPS is fine for people who wish to use them. The only tractor I have had with factory ROPS was the 5020 with a cab and for some funny reason the engineers didn't see a seat belt being necessary. I just do not agree that a ROPS system is as needed as you keep saying. And apparently you don't either or every tractor at your place would be so equiped.
