Where did you come up with the Rops??

I have ROPS now, as seen below. I contacted Kubota about their ROPS retro-fit program for older tractors and was told my B7100 qualified. They have a link on their website, but I could never get it to work. I had to pay the cost of the kit ($141) plus shipping ($80) and the dealer installed it. Poorly, I might add. See link:

Kubota don't have a subsidised Rops program here in the UK so I managed to get a used one.
It was originally fitted to a B7100 in France and the previous owner removed it because it was catching on the apple tree branches in his orchard.
It cost me 200GBP and worth every penny!
