Rops b 7000

[lumberjack_79]

Hello

As I read a lot about the danger of rolling over, I would love to find a ROPS solution for my B 7000. I searched the forum but didn't find the right thread.

Does anyone know if there are any solutions offered by Kubota which can be installed on the B 7000? (Perhaps with minor adjustments).

I saw a manufacturer "Hercules" or similar in Australia but it seems to be much effort and it was quite expensive.

Any suggestions are much appreciated.

Thanks in advance and best regards,
Thiemo

Welcome aboard, I'm new here too!

I would start HERE (<<<link) and see if Kubota has one in their ROPS and seatbelt retrofit program.

Thanks, looks pretty interesting. Unfortunately my B 7000 is not listed. But (!) there is an offer for a B 7100 ROPS

Does anyone know if this fits to my B 7000. And if there are adjustments to make how skilled do I have to be for that?

Thanks in advance and take care

Your dealer should be able to get you a rops suite for your tractor. I want to say that the B7000 and the B7100 are the same tractor. The B7100 is the North American model and the B7000 is an out of country model to the U.S.A

Thanks Eric

just to make no mistake: Can I assume that all B 7100 parts fit to my B 7000?
I want to avoid to buy expensive parts with long shipping and then recognizing that parts do not fit.

And even more important: Can you reckon how difficult it would be to attach the 7100 ROPS by myself on the B7000?

Many thanks for your support

A b7000 and a B7100 are not the same tractor. Some parts will change but not all. I have read that some parts from a B6000 will fit also. Your local Kubota dealer will not help with a ROPS because the B7000 is a Gray market tractor and dealers in the US will not support them.
Here is a link to a thread in which Service dept Vic states that a ROPS for a B7100 should fit with some minor modification.

Just noticed you are from Germany. I have no idea how dealers from another country deal with what we call gray market tractors here in the USA.

His B7000 in Germany is not grey market to him. For those of us living here in the United States the B7000 is only considered grey market to us because its not built to North American standards.
