Tractor upgrades and CUT deaths

   / Tractor upgrades and CUT deaths #11  
They don't make a ROPS for the MF 8040/8045 anymore-- when the ROPS standards changed my guess is that there weren't enough of these out there to justify the cost of the engineering and testing a new flavor [the 8040 and 8045 did come with optional OE ROPS, but a lot of people did not buy the non-folding ROPS].

If I was buying a used tractor now w/o a ROPS, I'd first check to see if I could get a ROPS. If not, I'd avoid it, let someone else have all the excitement working on slopes and hills.

Front end loaders increased danger risk of turning over. 2 years ago my brother in law died on a small ford. it was a 600 series ford. he was just pulling a trailer. A roll bar and seat belt would have saved his life.

I liked the statement "Researchers say the steepness and hilliness of farmed terrain largely accounts for the differences in rollover rates."

No sh*t, Sherlock? :D
