Hi,

last weekend I was driving on my property into a region heavily overgrown with bushes and weeds. The region usually has no inclination at all. Within a matter of 2 seconds I found myself on a very steep inclination - probably some ants or other anymals build up a little hill waiting there for me in the bushes.

Luckily nothing happened. However, this was really scary and now I do not want to operate my machine any longer without a proper rollover protection.

My tractor is a B4200D, here in Germany it was officially sold from a dealer back 30 years ago. Do you have any idea where to get such a rollover protection? I am also not sure if I would trust my welding arts too much in this regard.

Any ideas where I can get a decent rollbar? Or have to do by myself?

Greetings

Edit: Ah, I wanted to add, that a ROPS for an B5001 should also fit, according to my searches on the internet. However, both seem to be difficult to obtain.

If it is an older tractor there is probably little hope of finding a ROPS.

But this person may be able to pull one off of a tractor in the grave yard!

In the USA Kubota did offer ROPS on older tractors under a safety program but that has ended. You might want to see if your government has forced Kubota to sell them at a reduced price to make them safer.

Good Luck

Get a good welder to make you one.
The cost is very much an offset for your safety.
