In Reply to: U-make-it ROPS posted by docmirror on December 06, 2021 at 16:45:11:
The ROPS on my 2900 lb Kubota is made of 1-1/2 x 3 tube, mandrel bent in the corners. Wall stock is about 1/4.
Manual says (paraphrased): When the ROPS is up.....wear a seat belt. ROPS down, no seat belt. With a ROPS, if you don't stay in your seat, you run the risk of being crushed by the ROPS itself. When the ROPS is down, you don't want to be strapped to the seat, as crushing is almost a given. Your best hope is being thrown from the tractor.
A lot of the strength of the ROPS is needed as the tractor rolls from being upright, to upside down. Holding a tractor upside down doesn't take too much structure.
Wander past a tractor store and compare those ROPS with a similar tractor in size & weight.
