ROPS

Posted by Dan-IA on April 19, 2006 at 20:38:10 from (207.177.13.221):

I'd like to know a little more about ROPS (Roll-Over Protection System) on a tractor. In my larger, more modern tractors, inside the cab I see large beams for the corner posts of the cab. I've heard these called "crash bars" as well.

Now, since my present project is to convert a tractor to a rear loader, and my attention is now turning to laying out the new platform design, I'd like to better understand just exactly what a ROPS is. From what I gather online, I just need to add a seat belt and put together some sort of heavy frame that's solid enough to keep the tractor off the driver, right?

I'm thinking I'll have to build this myself, because I can't imagine that someone would mass-produce a ROPS for 50-year-old tractors like this Cockshutt 30 I'm using.
