B6000 ROPS received but does not fit!

[B6000ME]

Picked up my rollover protection for my B6000 from the Kubota at the dealership today. Unfortunately I did not look closely at it until I had already stripped down half of my tractor and was getting ready to do the install. When I realized that nothing was going to line up. At that point I located the tag and it does not show the b6000 as a model that this particular unit fits. It's very close, but some of the holes and measurements are not quite right. I'm wondering if there is an adapter kit or if I need a completely different unit I am attaching a picture of the tag. If anyone else out there has a b6000 Kubota roll over could they post a picture of their tag or at least the part number. I'm going to call the dealer tomorrow but I was hoping I might get a little information this evening from you guys.
Thanks

Might be a situation like Ive recently had with 2 sets of factory rops that where screwed up during manufacturing. http://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=36648

Crackheads at the kubota factory?

I'm surprised you can get a factory ROPS from a Kubota dealer for a B6000 that would fit. It's a grey market tractor and Kubota dealers do not support those tractors.

If you can find some parts that fit other non-grey market tractors a Kubota dealers then you can buy and use them, but to tell a dealer you have a B6000 tractor will usually get the parts counter folks just shaking their heads sideways!

My B6000 Kubota is not a grey market tractor. I gave my dealer the model number and serial number when I ordered the rops I believe he just got the wrong part number. The dealer even has a b6000 in his showroom an original two-wheel drive very clean!

Well, you're probably correct. It is real difficult to tell your location by what you have posted by your moniker. Perhaps Manchester is located on another continent then North America? Good luck in finding your answer.

Yea they just ordered or shipped you a ROPS for the B6100 which as you've found out does not fit it.

Are they reordering the right one for you?

I talked to them this morning they are extremely helpful. They are looking into it and will get back to me.

Is it Manchester NH or Manchester, Connecticut or Manchester-by-the-Sea, Massachusetts or Manchester in England?

I heard from the dealer today. I have the correct ROPS but there is an adaptor
kit needed. To help others looking for ROPS for a B6000 Kubota tractor the part numbers for a complete ROPS unit are as follows, ROPS model B1060 and adaptor kit B1401. I hope this helps someone in the future.

yes I was able to get it from my dealer I believe a couple posts up I have the correct part number for the Rops and the adapter kit. That was a fun little tractor and I’m glad I had it however I have moved up significantly in Tractor.
