I'm interested in making my own ROPS. Does any one have any picture of a ROPS fitted to a B5100?... In particular where it attaches to the frame. If someone could post measurements and sizes it would be even better be great.
Pictures of ROPS for B5100?

I'll get some detailed ones today; here's a sample of the rops on my 4wd b5100.

Some more pictures from today's lunchtime walk which included a swing past the tractor shed... Note that this is not an easy weldment and it was a somewhat time-consuming job to get this on the tractor as it all just fit. You would likely be better off not making a one-piece weldment. You might combine it with a mounting rack for suitable weights; these little units are sturdy enough but lacking in ... gravitas.
There was a program (at least here in the US) where Kubota dealers would offer ROPS for tractors originally offered/shipped w/o them at very reasonable prices; I used this and I doubt the $250 or so I paid would have covered shipping, let alone fabrication. You might see if this is active in Ireland; it may be limited to the Litigious States of America.
As you can see, the ROPS picks up 6 bolts into the PTO drive area, and two on each side on the differential housing.
The ROPS itself is made from 2" (50mm) square tubing perhaps 3/16" thick
; I'd guess the mounting plates are 5/8" thick.

Bart's,
Your a gentleman ,thank you for posting those. There's a bit of work in making that ROPs alright. I'll have to have another think about taking that one on. At least I know where it's attached now.

I tried to get one for my 6100 in the states through the rops program, and they said they had no funding.

Prob 2021, actually got a letter a few months ago saying I was still on the list. I believe they do prioritize base off level of farming(totally reasonable). Also depending on state there may local agency that also will supplement the cost of a rops.
