BX1500- Could this be right??

[SeymourBota]

This BX1500 is for sale one state over on ebay.
A quick glance at the pix and I was struck by the ROPS height. I contacted the seller, who indicated it came from Kubota that way.

Having a hard time believing it- why bother with a ROPS at all if it's going to be that short?

Is it possible or did he have it modified?

I would say that the seller bought it used, and either the present seller or the previous seller is lying because they know about the liability issue.

I just can't believe that came from Kubota that way

Ain't no way. I wouldn't let it dissuade you from the purchase if it is a really good deal. Just make sure you budget and replacing the ROPS. Really silly that someone would do that to their machine. The ROPS isn't that tall...

I guess folks just do not read TBN and understand the hazards of cutting or removing the ROPS. Here is a picture of another person who removed the ROPS and has it for sale on e-bay.

Definitely not factory. The ROPS on a BX1500 bolts on, so it should be easy enough to replace, but it kinda make you wonder what else the previous owner might have done.

..it kinda make you wonder what else the previous owner might have done.

Naw, I'm sure this is the only thing he hacked.
