TS1910/1610 ROPS

JJPWAus · Nov 4, 2004

I finally got around to doing the attached drawing for the ROPS for my TS1910, material is 75mmx50mmx6mm RHS (3"x2"x1/4") with 8mm plate (3/8") for the mounting brackets and 6mm (1/4) for the top plates. The yellow indicates the axle and RHS position on the lower mounting plate, the top mounting plate is cut out as detailed.
To fit it I would remove the M12 studs from the top of the axle used for mounting the guards and change them for M12 bolts and as this will allow four fixing per side 2top/2bottom at 100mm (4")centres. Estimated weight will be around 44kgs (approx 96lbs).
I thought that I would post it first for some feedback before I struck an arc. All thoughts/ideas gratefully accepted.

I would add additional triangles to the opposite side op the 82° inclination at the top-plate

I see how it is adequately supported for a side impact or side to side roll over. I can't (in your drawing) see if it's supported for a front to rear flip. Are there diagonal supports in your drawing to prevent this?

The drawing is excellent. The support, attachment points and the weight appear to be very well thought out.

good luck and good job, Mark

My Dad recently received an email saying "coming soon" ROPS for Yanmar/Grey Market Tractors. Anyone else get one?

Whole thing worked out pretty good,very solid, just need to get a hand to mount it up and get a seat belt fitted. Only mod from above drawing was to elongate the cutout in the top plate slightly. Only mod to tractor will be the hi tensile bolts to mount it and elongated vertical holes on the mudguard mounting brackets. I'll post a picture when I get it mounted.
