Tractor Improvements

After about tearing the top beam out of my garage door I finaly broke down and took the ROPS in to have it shortened five inches. Our town has a real good fabricator as he is the one who fabricatored my belly pan.
Other than the problems I creait myself the 3035 is a joy to run. About 25 hr's now.
Happy tractoring.

Had you converted the ROPS to be foldable? If so, what did you use to secure it in position?

I Went to Tractor Supply and picked up a couple of pins that are about a !/16 undersized that work real well and are easy to change. They are a red pin with a rubber like coating on the handle.
I hope to not have to fold the ROPS down as much after shortening them.

Did you replace the top or bottom bolt with with the pins?

Not being at the tractor I'm not sure but think it was the top as they go in the back hole when down.

MicroPilot,I was wrong about the pin that has to be moved in the ROP. It is the bottom one when it is up.
