Ordered a new Blue! - Page 3

Tractorbeam: The FOPS is heavier than a fiberglass canopy. It's made of diamondplate and I would not try to remove it by myself- it was dealer installed. I also would not want to fold down my ROPS with it attached, but I always keep my ROPS up so for me it really does not matter. If I remember correctly

it cost ~$500 installed. Jay

I believe FOPS stands for "Falling Object Protection Structure" and serves for protection from limbs and other overhead objects. I am interested in one for my future NH also - thanks for the lead.

Ah. BUSTED I am. You hit the nail on the head!

My 2320 already has 22 hours on it, and a lot of dust. Loving every minute of it.

Just about ready for some pics.

I promise!
