Sorry, I am impatient. The site says "how it works" then goes on with all manner of benefits and sales talk. Typical!
Please. What is it and basically how does it work?

The next video in line has moving pictures and no words.
It's called a self deploying ROPS system.
Think of it as an airbag system, that deploys a ROPS.
The government is supposedly considering requiring them on new tractors, due to the number of accidents, where the operator has left the ROPS down.
They will be more costly, and may require periodic re-certification, or replacement.

Any post that reminds you to think safety even for a minute is a good post. Thanks. I think that's a great idea but don't need the safety idiots involved in trying to get it mandatory. If you want it fine, if not fine.
