Hit head on ROP support

   / Hit head on ROP support #11  
Yes, I did use pipe wrap. Wrapped it around the edges using the split and gorilla glued it.

Like I said, trees have gotten it and after the 1st couple of weeks I figured out to bend down a bit. i am sorry, this sounded condescending. What I really want to say i that I think my tractor ROPS is higher than the 425. I look at pictures and I think I have more head clearance or I am really short compared to you guys (5' 9")

+1 on the automotive door edge trim. It covers the sharp edge nicely.

Today while crossing the creek too fast to keep from getting stuck I bumped my head on the ROP support post. I have done this before and figured I would do something. I wrapped some of the black foam pipe insulation around the area where I hit my head. I then tie wrapped them in place. Does this seem like a decent fix? Has anyone else done this? Is there a better solution?

That must have been some jolt!

I've banged my noggin on the edge of the canopy just a couple times (aversion therapy). I think I hit the ROPS bar once. That's one of the things about the PT425 seat that bothers me. It can tip forward with you belted into it. I have wondered about pinning it in place from time to time.
