Folding ROPS for BX2360

[tjwoody]

Is there a folding ROPS available for the BX2360, either from Kubota or as aftermarket. I'll be working in and around some dwarf/semi-dwarf trees and it sure would be helpful.

There are no aftermarket versions available and Kubota doesn't offer one either. You're only possibility is to see if the BX25 version would fit your BX2360. I would measure the bolt hole spacing where the ROPS attaches to the frame and compare those measurements to a BX25 on the dealers lot. Oddly, I can't recall this issue come up before but maybe a search would yield what others have done.

CHDinCT, I kind of thought that might be the case. Oh, well. I guess I'll have to check the BX25 route. Seems they ought to put these on by default or at least be an option.

Yeah, I had a BX1860 before the BX25 and mowing around trees and large shrubs is actually easier with the BX25 due to the folding ROPS. The down side is that the BX25 doesn't fit in my garage or shed with the ROPS up - I know 'cause I've tried it, more than once, if you know what I mean.

FYI, the rops doesnt really fold all the way down like the bigger tractors do. The BX TLB models folds halfway down into a wing and gives you a PERFECT noggin knocking.

CHDinCT, when I first put my BX2360 in the shed I inadvertently made the door opening a little taller. I didn't really need that trim anyway. :laughing: Ultimately I took a chainsaw and cut an inch more out of the door jamb since it wasn't load bearing.
