Yes, indeed, mine has served faithfully and does not protrude much higher than the top of the ROPS, so I can still get it into my garage/shop bay without breaking anything. I do have to make sure there is no snow buildup as I come across the threshold, or I might hit the door as I enter. Some fine adjustment and hard cranking on the bolts, to keep everything in place, puts it just where I need so I can stand as I mount the tractor to sit; while not hitting my head on the subframe.
Once you go there it's next best to a cab, but not all the caged in feeling, if you use it the woods and such.:dance1:

Nice! How's the mirror work for you?
Won't the loader get you out of the mud? I see a chain off the drawbar...
I purchased the Kioti supplied one for my DK55. It's fiberglass and seems rather light. It lists for $400 but the dealer sold it to me for $300 since I was buying a new tractor. If it breaks I will build my own.

I moved the mirror down to the loader bracket on the left and bought a bigger one at the truck stop. I kept bending it up on top with tree limbs. I have about 5 acres of woods I cleaned up and mow once or twice a year. The top is 1/4 inch plexi glass painted kioti orange and the braces came off a satellite dish. Yes I was stuck, that was the first time so I took the picture. Walked to the house and got the NH LB75B and pulled it out. Funny thing was I was just joy riding and slid down in the ditch. Oops..
