BX24 ROPS

[FSE]

I was wondering. Will the folding ROPS on a BX24 fit a BX2660 and if so has anyone made the change? What would the cost be? I would like to put one on mine if it can be done.

Good question, I am not sure. I could tqake measurements of the bolt locations where the 6 nuts is holding down the rops to fender area. Do you realize that the BX24 rops doesn't fold all the way ? its can be problem when hooking up the 3 pt implements and you standup to get out of the way and BANG! you hit your head on the "folded" rops.

forgot to add- since you have a BX2660- the BX25 might be a better match since its a 60 series BX.

I think that the BX series ROPS can be swapped. There was a member here that put a non folding one on his BX24 so it would fit through the garage door, vs folding it each time.

I am not recommending that anyone do this, but we cut and shortened a ROPS on one of our tractors so it would fit into one of our sheds.

Me too. I hate hitting my head on that thing. I even put yellow/black caution tape on it and still continue to knock my noggin' once in a while.
