Believe it or not, my weight box scares me the most. It is the heaviest attachment I have (809 lbs), and if it falls, it is going to do some damage to anything it hits. I usually keep it on a wooden dolly with steel casters, and moving it around, even on the concrete floor is scary to me because I have had casters fail before. I am deathly afraid of having my feet or any other body part anywhere close to that box.

Another owner with a folded ROPS that is doing nothing far as protection is concerned.

Trencher is probably the most dangerous attachment that I have, it has been used to grind stumps and requires a lot of attention when using it. Spinning blades throwing stuff at the back of the tractor, not a good feeling!

The SS brush hog has spinning blades reaching out 8" in front of the housing. It cuts anything like butter but those exposed blades and open front where it throws debris make me nervous.

Actually it makes a really good place for me to hang my hearing protection when not in use running the chipper.

So you protect your ears but not your head? :LOL:
Last time I looked, after 17 years of running this machine, my head was still intact. :cool:

So far so good. That is no guaranty of the future. But you have the choice to not use it. Like not using a seat belt. You do you. It doesn't prevent other people from noticing.
