Update: Installed my ROPS. Went to use my backhoe one day - and the new ROPS is in the way of the backhoe seat - the ROPS "branches out" about 6" too high. I've brainstormed this, and come up with nothing. Yesterday I swapped the ROPS onto my 2wd L245, but first used the ROPS to make a nice cardboard template for a replica that will not interfere with the seat. My copy will also serve as the reinforcing plate for 3pt hitch bracket. I'll need help from my local machine shop to make this happen so this may take awhile, but at least I can properly use my backhoe to prep for the greenhouse footings.
