There used to be a program that the government wanted all tractors to have ROPS, go to your Kubota dealer - ask them - they use to be able to give a discount. Not sure of your model, but damn near every tractor "could" be equipped with ROPS.

And yes - I am sure you can get on that folds down. Someone will chime in here is a while and give some good advice ! If you have any kinda hills and or using a bucket up front, get the ROPS , great insurance from getting killed !

Go here to get a ROPS.
The price is greatly reduced!

I don't think you will be able to get a foldable ROPS as they did not come stock that way.

I just had one[ridged] put on my B8200 while it was in for service and the dealer installed free of labor charges or so he said. I couldn't get a folding one

Thanks for the the response. I did find out kubota offers the rops for $148 not including shipping and handling .If it becomes too much of an issue I can weld on hinges.

Just a warning to welding hinges on a ROPS!
If you do the ROPS is damaged and voids any warranty.
Also if you or someone else gets hurt on the tractor an Insurance company will not pay a claim as you have altered the safety device.
