The folding ROPS is a PITA to fold down without either pounding down. Tighten with tie down. Or if I am lazy over it for winter storage. Use tiller to pull down with a chain once Unbolted. In case of roll over. Glad to know it will not bend or break. I really should just use FEL to clean out barn stall floor to back tractor in. The ROPS really is just 2" taller than barn entrance... could fill stall with dirt... thought for another day off.
