Same thing in Canada. I just ordered one for B7100 (to go on a B7001) and cost is $600+. Safety program is only a US promotion.

I can't measure mine (L185F) right now - that can be done this weekend. The overall height is somewhere between 7 feet and 7.5 feet (2.1 meter to 2.3 meter)
Let me know if you need a more exact measurement on a L185F

I installed the ROPS on my L275 a few years ago, It was under $200 with shipping.
My garage door opening is 7 ft, and I did have to shorten the ROPS about 4-5" so I could store the tractor in my garage.
While it's NOT recommended to modify it, I felt I could cut, add some internal reinforcement, and weld it to be as strong as original..... IMO that's a better option than no ROPS at all..... or leaving my tractor outside!

I don't know if this helps but I managed to get my ROPS for my B7100D without the dealer ever seeing my tractor as I installed it myself. To convince them to let me put it on myself, I told the dealer that somebody welded crap on where the ROPS was to be bolted to and knew that I'd be putting some serious hours just to get that crud off. (It's true anyway)
I did provide the serial number of the tractor through the safety website and that was enough to get the ball rolling. If one were to "guess" the tractor serial number, an associate could get one then have him pack & ship it to you. What probably would bite is the shipping cost. Those ROPS are heavy!

Would this kit fit a L1500? I know the program is only for US models but if I can get my local dealer to order it for me I wanted to make sure it would fit.
Thank you,

odds are they will require the tractor serial number and it must match a non grey tractor. If you got a connection then of course go for it.
I just recieved my ROPS for my L1500, my local dealer did not ask for a serial number and just orderd it for me. $148 + $90 shipping no tax.
Glad I read this as I was wondering if it was something I did. The recommendation to leave everything loose until it is all hung and bolted up was a good one also as there was some maneuvering to get it all slung onto it correctly with some messaging of the holes...
Just got mine after spending some time with a great lady named Annette at Kubota. Took some emailing and some serial number pictures, ordered my kit from a GREAT dealer and they drop shipped right to my shop. The kit for my L175 is the SFL-22. I am not familiar with the SFL-27 but the kit came with the PTO cover also. A 12 x 1.25 tap is a must for opening up the lower stud threads.
Hi, Tyrepors,
I am wondering the rops kit you bought will fit on L1500?
Thank you n

I amazed myself and remembered to look, found the instructions and was just going to post them!
