Rops

[sherman]

hi again and thanks yall for the help on my PTO subject last friday.

what I'm trying to figure out now is if the rops program that kubota had going is still going. i found the web site which is still up and showning a price of a $148.00 but tells you to contact the local dealer which i did and the price was allmost $500.00 that was from the sales department and they said that was the program price. I havent cheched the other dealership around. does anyone have any advise on this.

thank yall as allways / sherman

The dealers will add in shipping charges. I would go back to the sales staff and ask for a breakdown on the price. How much is the ROPs and how much is shipping.

I would also try another Kubota dealer to see what they would charge.

That price probably includes shipping and installation.

The ROPs is around $150. See this for price:

I got one last year when I got my L185. The installation would have been basically free but I have no way to get my tractor to the dealer. I had it shipped to the dealer so it was cheaper.

You do not have to have the dealer install it and it can be done in a couple of hours (two people needed for part of installation to make it easy).

Here is how I recall it working.

Go to Kubota website (know your serial number) : http://www.kubota.com/safety/RolloverProtectiveStructures.aspx

Fill in form and submit.

Get an e-mail back from Kubota with a quote.

Get dealer to order it, insist on freight to dealer cheapest way.
(assuming that dealer is near enough).

Go pick it up or have the dealer install.

Here is a link that may help with the whole process:

That sounds like a rip, My tractor is not on the list and it's only costing me $350 for the ROPS.
