No, that makes you a new owner. A veteran owner has done it multiple times, and needs to straighten the top lintel on their shed because it's been hit so many times. Because I mostly leave the ROPS folded when I'm just mowing the lawn, any time I put it up I forget I can't just drive into the shed.Remember - you don't earn your new tractor stripes until you drive into the garage or shed without lowering the ROPS. Once you do that, you're a veteran owner
