Hi...I have a B8200 with ROPS and I am looking to add a seat belt. Bunches of options out there like:
- Adding a lap belt to the seat but dont know if this is an OEM thing
- Buying a seat with a lap belt
-Is a lap belt sufficient or should there be a shoulder strap too
Any suggestions on make/manufacturer would be great. Maybe I am just over thinking this and should just buy a golf cart belt and figure out where to mount it...Not sure if it matters but Im not a small guy

You could check with the Kubota dealer to see if a seat belt was a option for that model. It came with ROPS and probably should have had a belt as well. The ROPS is supposed to protect you if the tractor rolls over but can only do its job if you stay beneath it in the driver's seat. If the tractor rolls the ROPS will make jumping free more difficult, hence the belt.
