I keep hearing that the 4100 does not have the option of a foldable ROPS, are you guys saying that there actually is one available?

There is one shown in the 4100 parts catalog for the European models.

Nuru, you might want to consider whether or not you'll ever want a canopy before you buy a folding ROPS. I originally wanted one for my 4100, but after mowing in the hot sun and snow plowing in the blowing snow, I decided that a canopy would make using my machine a lot more comfortable. I don't see how you could use a fiberglass (or any other ridgid material) canopy with a folding ROPS.

Jyoutz; I am actually looking at a Golf-cart softcab to provide a moisture/windscreen in the snow, that can be used on a Folding ROPS. For heat, I would just use my big umbrella and duct tape it to my seat! The rigid cabs are way, way, too expensive for me. I do like the heater/blower units though.

Nuru, the rigid cabs are too costly for me too. You might check into a fiberglass canopy like I have. $300 or so will buy one of these if you shop around. They are tough and look good also. I got mine from firebirdfiberglass.com. The model which is made for a 4100 is called a bucktop canopy.

Jyoutz, I looked at the Bucktop too.. to support my Golf Cart soft canopy, it looks like a good combination.

I happen to live in Arizona, so I drove to the factory and directly purchased a "blem" bucktop for a big cost savings. They won't sell direct to people unless you buy a blem. Otherwise you have to go through your dealer to order them. You might consider a blem-the onlt thing wrong with mine is a few small bubbles in the clear paint top coat. I'm sure they will ship a blem to you direct.

jyoutz, Hey, BTW, I lived in Az in Chandler for 6 years, i had an STX38 then, my neighbors laughed at me for using the lawn tractor and not a normal mower, they did until it got hot and they were mowing their lawns in 110 deg weather and it took a couple of hours, where I was done in 15 - 20 minutes with a beer!
