Added some seatbelts (tractor already has ROPS).

Always enjoyed Mike Rowe 'Safety Third' episode on Dirty Jobs.

gee, I did the opposite, when I got rid of the ROPS, I took the seatbelt off.
When they put ROPS on all ATVs sold , then and only then will I think about upgrading the safety of my BX23S.....

I agree that a seatbelt without ROPS is a terrible idea, but since I do have ROPS, a seatbelt gives me more options than not having one does.

according to the owner's manual and 2-3 stickers... with ROPS up, you must wear seatbelt......
I'm waiting for when the lawyers and XYZ guv dept force a 'nostart' safety feature...MUST have ROPS up ANS seatbelt on law.....

I have a feeling my 1987 tractor is safe from anything like that. Also all the safety stickers are so sun rotted you can't read them. I just want a way to stay inside the ROPS bar envelope if I'm doing anything sketchy. As I said, options...
