Boondocks - sorry, I replied on Monday, but apparently it didn't post my reply. I saw your post. Thank you for the safety concern. You are absolutely right about that. A roll-over is something I think about. It's not worth my life to have this hobby farm. We lost someone at our church to a roll-over a while back.
I'm sorry to hear that.
If you are (or anyone else is) looking for a retrofit ROPS, we got ours from justtractorparts.com. (Gotta install the seatbelt and wear it too; roll bar ain't much good otherwise. I caught someone using our tractor without it on. ONCE. They got an earful). If you do need ROPS, check first to see if there is a state program that helps with the cost. I think you may have to take before and after pics and make sure the ROPS meets certain OSHA standards etc. But it was worth it.
