Nice looking setup. Read this all the way through. No complaints on anything, but do have a few comments from having worked for a dealer;
#1- After chaining down on the trailer, lower the backhoe to the deck. Do not leave it latched in the transport position. Hard on the latch arm and pin. Also, with the BH up, the rear of the tractor will want to bounce as you hit bumps in the road.
#2- ROPS DO NOT WELD on the ROPS. It is certified as built. Any welding will void it's rating. You can clamp anything IE: canopy, light mounting brackets, you want, just no welding.
#3- The ROPS is foldable. Helps when the garage door opening is too low.
