    Most states have a program to get you a certified ROPS for a couple of hundred bucks. I would take that route long before building one.

    These questions should not be assessing our students’ ability to decipher convoluted language. Instead, they should be assessing deep understanding of core concepts.

    The NY one is: Rollover Protective Structure ROPS Retrofit Program
    Looks like there isnt one for MO. CDC - Agricultural Safety: Cost-effective Rollover Protective Structures - NIOSH Workplace Safety and Health Topic has plans to make them.

    I read somewhere that manufacturers encouraged dealers to sell ROPS at cost.
