ROPS, if you mount them on a canopy the light will bounce all around. ;)

The lights bounce with the tractor so it doesn't make much diffrence where, ROPS would be the most stable. Mine are mounted to the canopy, The fronts bounce a bit. So make sure you have lock washers or lock nuts that won't back out. First day out one came lose and was hanging by the power wires :eek: Actually regradless of where you mount them make sure you have lock nuts or washers. I have my rear's mounted on the canopy as well but they don't bounce as much as they are right near the ROPS.

I'm way behind on posting my install pics! :(

Another vote for ROPS. Mine are mounted under my canopy on the ROPS. There are definitely cheaper options than that.
