FAQs
Why do I need a ROPS on my tractor?
- Farm tractor rollovers are the leading cause of tractor-related fatalities. A ROPS, when used with a seat belt, is considered the single most effective way to reduce the number of overturn fatalities
Why can't I make my own ROPS?
- In the event of an overturn, the ROPS must endure tremendous force, so it must be specifically engineered and tested prior to use. The ROPS is designed to flex just enough to maintain the integrity or the tractor while remaining regid enough to protect the driver. Factory-built ROPS have passed government standards. Factory retrofits provide the best possible chance of surviving an overturn.
What if I buy a used ROPS?
- The used ROPS may not be the right model or fit for your tractor, and could have been involved in a previous accident.
Why can't I install the ROPS?
- Along with precise engineering, ROPS have special mounting hardware that must be set exactly to factory specifications, Your dealer has the equipment to ensure proper installation.
Why do I need a seat belt installed with my ROPS?
- The ROPS provides a zone of protection for the operator. The seat belt is the best means of keeping the operator in the protected area in the event of an overturn. Make sure your dealer installs the best seat belt available.
