To clarify....Ken bought the prototype and he knows this. They are NOT yet in stock. His price is not going to be reflective of the pricing anyway, because it was the prototype. The ROPS will be in "families". Each family will fit a certain grouping of tractors. The first family to arrive (possibly in another 4-6 weeks) is what fits the 3110, 2500, and 3000. The others will come along in time--hopefully all this year. I assure all of you that you will see them for sale on our website, and likely others, as soon as they are available.

TO clarify,the ROPS that I purchased states it also fits 2200-2620-3000-3810-2500-2700-3110-4220-2610-2820-3220.I don't know nor do I care if the ROPS that I purchased is a prototype.It has a OSHA certified decal. I called Paul Seago at Fredricks and asked if they had a ROPS for my tractor and if it was for sale.Paul said yes and I bought it.It is true that it is the only one at this time They were nice enough to sell me their only ROPS and I'm glad to have it. I have no problem if people purchase from LMTC or Fredricks. I can say that the people at Fredricks are very good people and they have been very good to me. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Ken...I did not (nor do I now) intend to start any conflict with you. I understand your excitement over finding the ROPS, and I just did not want the fact that it IS a prototype, and thus the ONLY one currently available, to get lost in the announcement. Lots of folks are looking forward to getting these, at least according to the number of inquiries we continue to get, and I just wanted to make sure they understood the situation. And your list of models is correct....I was grabbing a few that I knew it covered from my memory.

So--to recap...when the ROPS are available in quantity, it will certainly be apparent to all by the number of places offering them for sale. I hate to even guess, as we've been doing that since January (and been wrong each time too), but probably not for at least a month. The first family will cover the models Ken lists above. Future releases will cover additional models. When we know they are actually ON a truck so that they will be available to us for shipping within a few days to a week, we WILL post an announcement on our website. Then have at it...I'm sure they will be for sale at other places as well. And again, Ken, I apologize if my post came across as critical of you.

It took approx. 2 hrs.I had no instructions or help, also had to run a tap in the existing holes to clean them out. I have my rims adjusted out as far as they will go to give wider stance, so I re drilled my fender brackets to move them out to cover the tires.
