Different Foldable ROPS on BX's

[nikerret]

Does anyone know what models of what years have which foldable ROPS? I've noticed some go straight up, from the mounting point, folding about two-thirds toward the top. Others go outward, from the mounting point, folding about a third of the way toward the top.

Both Kubota BX2370's:

First type:


Second type:

Think the straight rops started with the new 70 series's as my bx25 from 2010 has the slanted one.

I have a BX25D-1, it has the ROPS that slant out the bx25d also is the slanted variety. The bx..70 also has the slanted out rops, I think the bx..70-1 has the straight up rop. My BX2200 has straight non-folding rop that is shorter.

My BX23 has a foldable ROPS that hinges lower on the ROPS, like the second type you listed above. The hinge is just above the top of the seat when the seat is in the forward-facing position.

My BX2660 is straight and does not fold, but it's only about 6 feet from the ground to the top of the ROPS. I'm 5'10" and the ROPS is barely taller than the top of my head when I'm standing next to the tractor. I like this type the best because I don't have to think about folding it, and there's no hinge pins or hardware to rattle around.

Can these foldable rops be retrofitted to a BX 2230?

A reputable welder can convert your current rops if you want folding ones...

They are vertical and would hit your head back.. needs to be a different design altogether....
