Actually I am not considering a cab, a roll cage I am considering, regarding
what it might look like, clean, functional, painted same as ROPS . I own
a metal tube hydraulically powered bending machine BUT, I think the
same material as the ROPS would "look" best. I need to ponder more.

I just have to ask why. A roll cage is designed differently for different results. If you have ever been in a caged vehicle that rolled you would understand the differences. If you are worried about rolling down a hill build it tall so the tractor cannot go totaly upside down. If you build it low the tractor will keep rolling over untill it reaches the bottom.

If you drop the left or right front wheel into a hole, inadvertently,
perhaps while backfilling a hole, the BX25 will teeter todder into what
one might call a catastrophic life threating failure. Said cage can &
will protect a mans torso and cranium from crushing forces enough to
decapitate and or "crush "."

Of coarse if you are tooling around a finished estate w/ a MMM hummin'
and hoping you get done in enough time to wash the MMM before dark
you need not worry. Those of us who push the envelope and "Go For It"
as in digging a hole big enough to bury the entire tractor and occupant
want, and need, more.

I was road building with the dozer in a fairly high wind. a sapsucker damaged, but still living, tree I wasn't even messing with let go about 20' up. I wouldn't be here if it was only equipped with ROPS. I'm not sure I'd be here if it happened while I was in the pick-up either.
