It almost happened yesterday.. done with tractoring, thinking about maneuvering the tractor into the garage bay, and.. oops.. better lower that ROPS!

Anyone got any good system for making sure they never forget this? I thought of a big sign over the garage door that said <font color=red>ROPS!!!!</font color=red>

I also thought I should get into the habit of closing the garage door when I leave, so at least I'll have to stop and get off and maybe during this my two remaining neurons will remembers to lower the ROPS. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Anybody got any good tricks that work for them?

Ya didn't invent that boo-boo, Bob. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

There have been varied and sundry discussions about this problem in the past. You might start by wading through this thread. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

I wish my ROPS was foldable. I am researching the one that JD provides for the Euro-model 4100. i want to see if I can get that one and use that, instead of making my own.
