First Use

[djwill]

Thanks guys for all the advice and concern about using the ROPS. As I stated earlier, It was my first time out of the garage and using the tractor, and in the excitement I forgot to put up the ROPS. I dont think I was out for more then five minutes or so before it was up. I will always be using it, just as I do the seatbelt in my car or truck....

Just reading the safety forum on here will make you use it all the time, to many accidents happening...

It kinda irks me that Simplicity doesn't provide a rops as standard equipment like the other tractor manufacturers do? )</font>

Since the Simplicity Legacy does not come standard with a front end loader, and many people buy them to just mow their lawn, I do see why Simplicity markets the Rops as a non standard item. Why have something on it that many people do not need?

It should come standard on a unit sold with a front end loader though.
