I was just checking out ceartain ROPS dealers for a ROPS on my F22D and found the total weight rating of the ROPS was 2500lbs max. Now my tractor weights by itself with no loader 2400+ lbs, I have a Koyker 120 loader and a boxblade + filled rear tires. Im sure this puts me at 3300+lbs which is over the max allowed weight of the ROPS. The ROPS I looked at is the one from Fredricks, Im not sure why the ROPS for the YM2220D and on are rated at 6000lbs and for the F22/group 8 I believe only 2500? Can anybodey steer me to a better ROPS that will be able to handle my tractors weight? Below is the text copied from the Instruction manual fro the Group 8 ROPS.
