Building a ROPS

[cperky]

Hey Everyone,
Thanks for all the input so far. I found out late today that a company called FULL Vision Inc was the OEM. I checked their web site but no real help there. I plan on giving them a call in the morning to see if they still have one available. If not then I guess it's off to the fab shop

Well the best info I could get from AGCO was this: There are four of the units available at the distrubution center in Batavia IL. These units are the complete ROPS structure including seat belt, brace plates that are mounted under fender and several assorted bolts washers ect. The roll bar as an individual part was not available. The price from the dealer( AGCO gave me the part number but had to contact dealer for price) the price was $1600.00. I decided to go to the fab shop since I already had all parts but the actual roll bar. Fab shop did a great job for me. I am happy to say the ROPS is now installed($120.00. I will post PICS if anyone is interested

Of course we're interested!

I'm sure a good portion of the $1600 price is for liability insurance for the manufacturer. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Finally stopped raining enough to run out and get a couple of shots but the file size is to large . How do I make the picture file size small enough to get under the limit of 100000 bytes??

Use your picture editor and resize it. There should be one in the software that came with your camera. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Or download a very easy to use and free PIXresizer

wait just one minute, it appears that your rops is mounted to the fenders! if this is the case then this is very bad! the rops need to be bolted securely to the AXLE not the fenders, in a rollover the fenders will crumple up like tinfoil, what you have is a canopy and worklight mount, not any sorta rollover protection
