This is really getting complicated. You don't wear your seatbelt, but your wife makes you wear an intercom and helmet. And you fold the ROPS down to mow. You really do need to take a real close look at that manual. It probably is not for your tractor - it must be for a BLUE 4 wheeler. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif
Seriously, though, NO NO NO. I do not ever fold the ROPS down! If you do, the manual says that you SHOULD NOT wear a seatbelt with the ROPS folded down.
YES if it was a lawn that you had mowed for 10 years with a finish mower (and you probably don't even know what a prairie dog is) you have my permission to not wear your seat belt. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
I simply mow around the trees, back the Bush Hog up to mow up to the tree trunk or if he limbs are really low, go get the riding lawnmower.
Steve Carver offered the best advise I have run across. He said to trim the trees to the ROPS height rather than even consider folding the ROPS. Good advise. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
