I need to get a roll-over bar, but...

It's good to see this kind of recognition of the need for the ROPS. If any of you order the ROPS from us and do NOT have a copy of the parts book for your tractor, we will toss one in (if we have it....and we have the vast majority)for the $5 postage it costs us to send it...on CD. Just remind me when you order your ROPS.

Thanks, Wayne! I'll be sure to take you up on that offer.

I'm not sure I want to strap myself to the tractor, my thinking being that I could jump in time if it rolled sideways

Yeah, I love it up here. Just moved out here from Phoenix about a year ago. Needed to get out of the desert and find a better place to raise my family. What part of SC are you from?

Received my roll ROPS Monday afternoon, mounted it on the tractor Yesterday morning with a minimum of headscratching.

Didn't realize it until later but once I buckled up I never gave another thought about being strapped to the tractor despite getting stuck on a hillside (rain, lack of weight on rear tires due to removing rotary cutter to mount rollbar).

Rollbar cleared top of barn door by about 1 1/2 inches. So, long as I watch that carefully, I won't have to fold it down at all.

I think it does enhance the tractor's appearance.

All I have to do now is take the garden rake down to the hillside and fill in those foot-deep holes I dug when I got stuck.

Post a pic of that 'safer' machine when you get some time.

Very nice tractor. Got a question for you. I have a YM2310 with a loader. Mine is also a 2wd unit. Have you had alot of traction problems on small hills? Do you have your tires loaded?
