No more new ROPS?

RBoots · Oct 1, 2016

Dad was at Saginaw Tractor getting some parts from Harvey today. Harvey mentioned that 50 more of the ROPS structures that they build there, I believe it's Harvey's brother that builds them, is all that will be built and he will be retiring. These are the nice ROPS with the canopies for the 3010 on up JD's, and the Oliver 1600 on up, and the IH 06,26,56,66 series tractors. This is the gentleman that used to build the Saginaw 3 pt hitches for the old tractors. Too bad, I bet that's quite a bit of sales he has with those. Be neat to see if he'd sell his plans for the ROPS and Saginaw 3pts and someone else continue building them. Harvey himself will continue to sell his IH parts at his very reasonable prices.

Other companies have been making jd rops for at least 30 years that I know of.A local auction probably has 50 on the lot.
