Is there anyone who makes aftermarket brackets? I realize that it still requires cutting the tubing but that's no problem with a hand held bandsaw. The uprights on my B9200 ROPS are out of parallel with each other by about nine degrees or 4 1/2 per side. This complicates the folding brackets but still doable. Just though it would be easier if premade weld-on brackets are "out there".

I dont think you'll find any pre-made brackets, solely from a product liability standpoint.

Is it possible to swap in a used, folding ROPS from Kubota?

I highly doubt you'd find weld-on folding brackets.

Make sure if you swap ROPS that the new ones come from a machine at least as heavy and that has a very comparable mounting set-up.
