FOPS for TC33DA

adlertom · Sep 9, 2004

Does anyone have a suggestion for a FOPS (falling object protection system) for a TC33DA?

I don't need a fully enclosed, glassed in cab. Just considering something for when I'm working in the woods, in case I accidentally knock a tree down onto myself /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

I checked the New Holland price pages and didn't see anything applicable from NH.

As far as I know, no one offers one commercially. What you can do, is get a good steel or aluminum canopy, then add the front supports to it.

I would call your dealer and ask. That might be a specialty type of option. The city I work had a large Ford working in the trees and it had a cage built around the cab. I've seen similar cages on tractors used by lumber & timber companies.

I found this in another forem, but I think it would work on your tractor. It doesn't look too hard to make !

That's Henro's 'bota. He did a real good job. Looks like a tank. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

I just received a FOPS from Case IH that we installed on a DX45 for a customer. There are pictures of the unit w/ FOPS in the photo section on TBN. This FOPS should be available from NH as well and should fit your 33 nicely. Good Luck, Tractorman
