new member and a request

[Pauchik]

Hello out there.

I am a long term horse breeder (sport horses) and have farmed for 25 years but I do have a day job to support my farming. I have a MF 243 with loader having downsized from a larger tractor.

I am particularly interested in learning about accidents from materials, especially round bales, falling from the loader into the driver compartment. This happened to me recently. I am trying to find a cage to attach to the ROPS to prevent this. If anyone has any ideas to retrofit a FOPS (Falling Object Protection) I would appreciate it.

A front bale spear with a rear upright guard will prevent the bale from coming back off the spear. Ken Sweet
