Saw a close one today. I at the BIL's place helping him with a fence line that had a few too many tree's land on it last winter. We had the handwork part of the cleanup done, so he started up the borrowed Kabota with the brush hog on it and started hogging up against the fenceline. He had gotten most of it and was moving out a little, when he went under a tree that was growing horizontal from the side of a bank. His head cleared just fine, but he had forgotten about the ROPS. It snagged the tree, and stood that tractor on its rear end, and the hog. Took all the play out of the PTO driveline. It happened in a flash, but could have been real bad. He got it stopped and backed off the tree. This just shows how you have to be extra careful when using equipment different than what you are used too. His big ol case dosen't have ROPS, so he didn't even think about having to have extra room for it. Lets be safe. Tim in OR
