ROPS thickness

[JohnMiller3]

I keep forgetting to measure it... /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

However, what JD model is close to your Yanmar? Check for pricing on "replacement ROPS" from Deere on that model and all your problems are solved...

I vaguely remember looking these prices up a year or two ago and I think it was something like over $800... but don't hold me to it...

Or I may be able to get you a removed John Deere compact factory ROPS/hardware that was replaced by an aftermarket cab assembly for about 1/2 the price...

I feel like what ever I do will be better than nothing, and nothing is what I have right now. I'll remove it or call it a light bar or a shade adaptor bar if I ever sell it. thanks agian, brett w

Make it much stronger than you think it needs to be, get a seat belt and use it, and don't assume that since you have a ROPS that you can do stupid stuff. The best accident is one that never happens, the second best one is one that you walk away from with a story, the worst one is the one that your family tells at the memorial.

I will build it with extra bracing at all joints. I will not be too pretty but it should hold. thanks, bw
