Mine on the 1025 stays folded at 90 degrees all the time. It's too tall for either the garage door nor many trees I go under on my trails. Can't imagine why they make them taller than standard garage door openings. That's what the fixed one on my 4010 was. It was fine.
The other stupid thing they do is to put the flasher light assemblies outside the ROPS. I moved mine inside on the 4010. Haven't done so on the 1025 yet despite bashing up one lens already. (And the lenses on it are different from the old ones I saved from the 4010.)

I know!! Im sure they made them taller than garage door because of over kill safty. Mine needs to be just a few inches (I think like 3-4 to be able to drive in)
I did see somewhere ....a thread where a guy cut his down and 're welded....now there will be many many that says NO! I haven't rolled tractor over to know if a couple inches would make a difference or not. (Nor mearsured or calculate if the degrees lost in cutting down would make a difference? )
Yes...the lights.....I'm currently waiting on u joints for driveshaft. But my lights will be moved inside the rops also!
Have had a number of times......I glance over and see the light is skimming a tree. I really can't believe I still have mine....lol
Oh....and for the cutting down the rops........my opinion is....if one leaves it down all the time because of height to and can't fit threw door vs cut down and can fit threw door.....BUT up all time......seems like a rops that is cut down and up will give more protection than none, right?
