Dealer Is this dealer selling a certified ROPS? Looks fishy!

The Ad says "Three Speed Transmisssion" To me, that means only one thing.

I just WISH any of the tractors I have owned had multi speed PTOs. Had a few with ground speed/live speed though.

On many Yanmars a 3 speed transmission is common. I believe all of the YMXX02’s are that way. My YM2002D has a 3 speed transmission along with a 4 ranges. There is a creeper range I have used once to see that it worked. It even has a lock out pin to make putting it in creep range a chore. So that 3x3 is easily accessible.

I love the creeper gear. (did I just say that??) Anyway, it's very useful when pulling woven fencing out in the field. One must go very slow to pull 330FT of fencing at a time.

19 HP Tractor with Front Loader - 4x4 Diesel - Yanmar - farm &...

I loaded the image taken from the left rear quarter into a separate tab and then zoomed. The bar crossing behind the seat appears to be the same dimension as the bar loop, which appears to be 1-1/5 x 3" material or similar dimension. I don't think strength would be an issue, but I question the geometry.

That does look really small, seems almost like that should be a 2x3 or 3x3.
The crossbar on our l3830 is 2x4, but the 4" direction is the vertical one, so it can resist the forces it will see in a rollover better that way.

The previous owner of my property left several piles of "construction material" (garbage) in several places. He then got old and stopped maintaining the property and I ran over a half-buried 3pt rake covered in blackberries. Ballast is going on this week and I am swapping the tires before I use it again.

The ROPS did work but when it broke off it damaged both of my fenders, my seat, and eventually my wallet. I am looking for a way to fix this without buying the 400$ cast iron pto cover. Maybe some brackets that are stronger than the 2 inches of cast iron?

you don't mention the mod tractor this is. I would like to look at a Fredricks tractor of the same mod to see if the ROPS are mounted in the same manor.
Just my opinion, but I just don't believe this casting alone would stand the pressure of a roll over without breaking .
On the 3110 I had, the ROPS bolted to the top of the axles and around the axles
