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?
