Hi guys,

Just what the title says, I'm looking for a ROPS for my 5600. If any here has one or knows of one, would you please let me know.

The description indicates this non-folding ROPS was designed for application on the Ford 5600 tractor, among others.

I was going to suggest Low Flyer replace his tractor seat with this, but they are currently out of stock.

I have a newer style roll bar from a 7740 that I am not going to use. I bought it to put on my 5600 and then changed plans, 231/757/0064

Relatively speaking, those ROPS prices are on the low end of what is offered from other sources. Saf-T-Cab and Lauren are off the hook.

Not to change the subject, but I believe that your required to have roll over protection on any tractor that you have paid workers drive. I dont remember where I read that. You dont have to if only family members and yourself. Cant remember if that was a National or state thing.

My cab tractors of course have it built in. Only one of my open station tractors has it. Double Ouch.

That's not my situation, however, I don't think a ROPS could be required on a tractor that didn't come equipped with one.

No, they can't require you to add a ROPS on a tractor that is old enough that it didn't come with one, but they can require a business to not allow employees to use a tractor that does not have a ROPS, as that is an OSHA regulation. If you want your employees to operate a tractor it's up to you as to whether to retrofit an older tractor with a ROPS or to buy a tractor that comes with a ROPS.
