BX-25 ROPS

[Delphicoder]

This is just for a laugh. I normally pull my tractor into the garage when I am done working with it. This past weekend I did it again, forgot to push the ROPS down before entering! haha! Well, luckily I was able to bang out most of the dent to the entrance overhang with a rubber hammer. I was wondering if I am the only bozo that has done that. My wife says I can no longer yell at our toddler for tearing up the house when I am setting such a bad example for him to follow.

I did it and thought maybe God was lifting the front end of my tractor as I slowly pulled it in. I looked and looked but couldn't see where my front wheels were running up on anything. Didnt take me too long though since I reminded myself 25 times throughout the day to put the ROPS down before pulling into the garage. I like to leave the ROPS up all the time but leave it down if I think it will be safe so I don't forget again - Really the best idea is to leave it up all the time though.

Glad I am not the only one. Funny, the first time I did it I thought the same thing, "Why is the front end of the tractor lifting up?".

I've never done it!:laughing:

Nor have I.:laughing: My BX25 and F3080 fits but a previous L3240 Grand with canopy, I believe done this.

I keep a couple of feet of orange survey tape tied to the garage door handle to remind me. Also a big yellow sticker on the dash "CHECK ROPS!"

Almost did it last week... 5" to spare. One of those things to put on a checklist... <g!>.

LOL! While it's obvious you are uniquely special, you ain't the only person to forget your ROPS. Not by a loooong shot. And we're all bozos here...
