TYT494H Lowering ROPS

[jima60]

I'm trying to figure out how to lower the ROPS bar on my 494 so I can pull it into a garage. I haven't found any instructions on how to lower it. Can someone give me some guidance?

Doesn't it have some pins that you remove and let it pivot down? Most are that way.

I has pins but no pivot point. See Pic

Its almost like you have to lift the whole bar off.

Ok, I don't have an open station myself, but looking at your pic, isn't one of those pins on each side the latching pin and the other pin on each side the "pivot" pin?

The bottom pins will let it pivot backwards, while the top pins are meant to lock it in place. Looks like you can also lock it at about 45 degree position.

Yeap.

Odd setup. This is the 4820 ROPS. It has a large pivot bolt. And one removable pin.

Reviving this post… top and bottom pins are trapped and cannot be removed without removing the light bar plates. Unless I had too many beers today?

Holy cow. They need the Kukje engineers.

..... Or Kubota engineers, both my open station and my F20 diesel mower have foldable ROPS.

Think I'd relocate the light bar brackets and call it good.

Of course I don't have the garage issue anyway. I keep mine in a barn with a 14 foot overhead door.
