I think OSHA says they are mandatory if you have an employee operating the tractor. But my second YM186D has a landscaping company name stencilled on it. The owner before me bought it from them. No ROPS. No way that was bought to be used solely by its owner. No ROPS on my first YM186D either but its history was unknown. Maybe the original owners removed them.

I mounted the YM186D adjustable rear hubs flange-out, and the wheels outside of those, contrary to what shows in all Yanmar photos of this model. That additional width and water ballast in the tires seem sufficient. And I chose this particular model because it runs on little 16" rear wheels. It seems pretty stable.

In contrast, the YM240 seemed tall, narrow, spooky. It would be impossible to climb off of if it started to go over. I was the first YM240 owner to order a YM2000 ROPS from Hoye. (fits perfectly, these models are twins).


Interesting.......mine has the ROP.......always assumed they all did. Glad I have it!

After a few years of this (photo) while searching for a YM186D, I finally found one. Then a couple of years later, finally, one with a loader.
