Second to KennyG… trim the trees and mulch around them to eliminate the problem
Actually, no dealer will take a modded tractor ROPS on trade. It's a liability issue. If you absolutely have to, remove it but NEVER modify it. That will make the unit unmarketable. Think I'd get a rear mount mower and be done with it.... Or a weed wacker.If you trade BX good chance dealer give you less for ROPS being shorter.
Have you ever been in a rollover? I have been in 2 on riding mowers (a Bolens 1050 and a Cub Cadet LT1050). The Bolens rolled over 90n degrees and stopped and the Cub Cadet was on a steep slope and I was able to push it off of me as it rolled over.Also a bx2380 is just a little bit bigger than most riding mowers or ATV’s that don’t come with ROPS. It’s operators platform is probably less than a foot off the ground and can easily be exited in a side rollover.
There are, but its important to look at all the facts when deciding, not just the ones that reinforce your opinion.The point I’m trying to make is there are trade offs and only you know your risks and risk tolerances.
