Raised the front wheels!

My ROP does not fold down and that maybe a good thing. After hitting my mothers clothes line with it I'm now more aware of the ROP and always make sure I have clearance. If I had the option of folding it down, I might stop thinking about it and that might mean trouble.:confused2:

You could add a sun-shade, & since it's happening in front of you, you'll be more likely to see the sun-shade about to collide with something.

I made a sun-shade out of plywood, so it only increased the overall height of my tractor by 1/2".

Strange: out of three folding ROPS I have, none needed tools to remove or install.

Probably paint build up in the holes. Reckon it'll wear in after a bit.
My 2000 Deere 4400 folding ROPS still requires a tap though, but the palm of my hand normally suffices.

This is what I did to remind everybody to lower the the rollbar on the new tractor, the ford 3000 with the fixed rollbar would just clear the door the kioti won't.I only get to the farm about once a month so I wanted a reminder.figured when the pvc pipe busted it would get my attention.

That's a good idea. Just watch for shards of that plastic when it flies (especially during cold weather).

I think mine require a tap with tools mostly because it's brand new... it does seem to be loosening up a bit lately though.

i suppose another thing you could do is. get them long CB antennas for trucks and cars. or what you might see on vehicles that run in front of over sized load semi trailers. to double check there is clearance before semi gets to a given point. and fix them to front of tractor ((mowing under trees for example)) might help as well.
