Anyone Added a Rollbar to their Mitsu

[duwem]

My dad has the Case IH branded mitsubishi and its way more decked out. One thing I like is it has a roll bar, mostly just for appearance, makes it look more like a tractor.

Here are some pictures of my MT373D and his IH244 next to each other:

Really wouldnt do any good safety wise without a seatbelt of course, which maybe I would add in the future if I end up moving to a property with hills.

Might be nice to add a canopy to one too.

So, has anyone added one, if so post pictures and detail of how you did it.

I don't know how to post pictures on here, but I have a couple of screen shots of how it was done. If I can figure this out, I will try to attach them. These shots would only give you a general idea of how to manufacture a bracket and attach the bar. http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/...tractorbynet.com/forums/images/attach/png.gif

One thing I wish my Beaver had is a roll bar. There even is a company that makes them for it, however since I have a Blackhawk backhoe mounted, their system won't work. Backhoe is the primary reason I have the tractor so I'll continue onward as I have been.

I have a Beaver with a Blackhawk FEL. I'm considering building a backhoe attachment for it. Could you post a couple pics of yours?

Well not quite, but a goodly chunk in my case.
I rely on my pucker meter and keep the loader close to ground and always hand on the loader down lever.
Also have rears loaded and a 300 lb rear ballast wt.
I also learned to make real slow turns when traversing hilly areas.

There are a number of pictures around here somewhere. If you search on my name, you can find some of the loader, hoe, grapple and the custom header too. I don't have any pictures of the hoe off the tractor as I don't remove it anymore. No need as I have a larger tractor with 3pt. Now if I can find the time, one of these days I'm going to scan the manual for it. Sadly, it's not a measured drawing.
