Good question. I have about 300 acres of which I only mow and brush hog about 60-70 acres a year --- mostly flat but a couple of fairly steep hills. I have the R4 tires (lower COG) filled with beet juice (four wheels) and the wheels are on the widest setting, all of which minimizes risk of over turning. This property has been in the family for over 100 years and there has never been an accident, however, one never knows, especially about ground hog holes from year to year. If it weren't for the ground hog holes/mounds I wouldn't be concerned.ccsial said:First question. How flat is your land? I have no need of a ROPS since I have rolling hills. In 34 years I have never been anywhere close to tipping. For me, I would just leave it down. My 1910 does not even have a ROPS.
If you need the ROPS, now that's different of course.
I have a welder, but I would get a professional welder/fabricator to do the job if I decide to have it done.
