He does have instructions and it is very helpful. Regarding Kenmac's comments about purchasing a ROPS & seat belt that has been tested by a certified lab- I completely agree. I want to. The problem is that Im trying to find this info before I buy this tractor and therefore have limited time. Gray dealers seem to be very helpful but cant cross match the 226D . Of the 10 dealers Ive contacted through Yanmar USA dealer locater- all say the cant help . They sell filters. Several have told me that if the tractor didnt come with ROPs - you cant and it to the domestic. So what is the benifit of a USA Yanmar? Those tractors on Waynes website are looking mighty nice.
