I cranked it immediately after the turnover to lower the bucket. After it was uprighted the battery was conked so it sat for a few days before I could get a new battery. Thankfully there were no issues because it started immediately. Then I used water and baking soda to neutralize the battery compartment, etc.

One thing missing from this thread is rear ballast- Magicman - did you have a rear implement on?
Thanks for posting your experience.

I read it that way too and responded to it the same way. Actually said something like that is the worst advice I ever read here or elsewhere...

Then on re-read I came to the conclusion the poster forgot the word "then". IE, that he meant "if the ROPS is down THEN do not put the seat belt on..." Not trying to put words in that poster's mouth though...maybe he can respond himself...
Yup, was pointing out the "use BOTH", meaning unless the rops is down, then use neither. Sorry, I speak in a combination of engineeringese and governmentese. Too many government jobs.
