Folding ROPS

   / Folding ROPS #11  
For comparison here is a 4400 with the tall folding ROPS. I am going to ask my dealer if I could get both top parts to the ROPS when I buy my tractor if it is available. I am getting a backhoe so I will need the tall ROPS but I was hoping to put the short top section on when I was not using the hoe.

When you find a answer for the short type, let me know. I have got mine cut down and it just fits in the garage now 1/2" clearance. So I'll not be fighting trees and other things as bad.

I spoke to my dealer and he said that there is no such thing as a short folding ROPS./w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif The pictures I found must have been of a prototype or very early production tractor. My garage doors are 8' tall so I can go in and out with the tall ROPS but I will have to trim a few tree branches higher so I can mow with the bar up.

DDT and MJB,
I saw the exact same folding rops this weekend on a JD 4400. I had to look twice at it but it was factory and it was definitely the short rops just like that picture MJB.

My dealer may have given up too soon trying to find the ever-elusive short folding ROPS. I was beginning to think I was on a snipe hunt but if you saw one "live in captivity" then they must exist./w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif I will ask my dealer about them again next time I talk to him. Thanks

If it wasn't factory the guy did one hell of a job on it because it looked just like mine only shorter.

Yea but they looked even shorter than that. I looked at it pretty close and I sure didn't see where the guy had cut it as even the paint matched but that looks like a factory job and I know you cut them off so could have been a homemade job too.
