Some people just a want a better and cleaner look than u-bolts, scrap metal or hose clamps.

Thank you for the comments. They are all spot on.
I think Ken summarized it - Matter of preference. Function is identical - while considering your use cases.

FWIW - I opted for ROPs clamps.
My reason - Form and Function

My son welded brackets onto the ROPs for my main LED bar. It has worked perfectly. My preference was not to go that route for side and rear work lights. I am not concerned with the ROPs tamper debate.

$50+ vs ~ $5, hmmmm.......

I can handle a bit of less purdy.

I received my ROPs clamp and couldn稚 be happier. As Walt pointed out the ROPs on the MF2310 is 1 7/8? That has not been an issue. The 3 side clamps on very securely and I have the capability of adding 4 lights!!!!

Doing the math - a total of 8 lights times $5 per clamp = $40. This is a clean look with the lights in a central point. Well worth the $ IMHO.

Thank you Kenny for a great product.

We appreciate the feedback PJ, thanks.

I'm sure all of us at some point have gone strictly for function on a tractor project and found the results to be satisfactory. But I usually go back at a later date and make it appear less "cobbled" and more fitting with the way it could or should have been when it left the factory. Ken's ROPS Clamps are an example of what the manufacturers should be offering but don't. I know many disagree with me but if I just spent $20,000 for a subcompact tractor I prefer it to look professionally engineered but it also has to function properly. Of course the cost has to be a factor as well.

I think Ken's products meet all three criteria. If only I could convince him to offer a bigger size to fit the Deere 2025r with the oddball size ROPS.

Thank you TC. I may do a run of the other size in the future...I get requests for them frequently.

TC - 100% eloquent and accurate!
Brilliantly said.

Magnets are on mine. If the rops is up or down, they can be faced the way I want them.
I also wired a 3rd one in down lower on the inside of the fender on a magnet that faces down toward the PTO area most of the time.
Makes it nice for hookups and etc in the dark but can’t be seen to blind you when driving.this one is on if the key is on. The rops two are on a lighted switch.

After clearing out some critters that made a home in my air filter, I added my lights with Kenny痴 rops brackets. They were the easiest part of the job. Along with some wire loom the whole project came out neat and clean.
