Thinking about Safety - Another Tractor Fatality

I suggest that everyone go to the 8N board and read the post about the latest overturn accident.

IMHO stuff follows.

Now go out and start figuring out how you can put a ROPS on your working tractors if you don't already have them.

No, they'are not 100% foolproof, but at least a fellow would stand a fair chance of surviving an overturn.

I've built ROPS for 2 of my tractors already and have the steel cut in the shop for the third... materials were about $100 each. Cheap insurance.
