Well Roy. You caught me. The first owner damaged the top bar for the rops. So I've never had it. I know I know. I'm being not only cheap but stupid. Let the safety police stoning begin:-(

Roy may have been commenting on the camera angle.

Oh I got that. But it is a pretty good hill and I don't have the top bar for the rops

You know...there is an ad in the Private Party ads you might look into...guy is parting out a 4300. Might have the part you need at a reasonable price.

I looked on JD's site, can't see that they sell the frame parts separately. The entire kit is $630

The 790's ROPS has two extensions (one on each of the vertical sections) about 10" long. These are installed on the ROPS if the tractor has a backhoe. IIRC, it has something to do with clearance when that #7 'hoe is being mounted (the standard ROPS is too short and cranial injuries can occur during the mounting operation (operator is on the backhoe seat)).
So, redmtnex isn't writing about the top horizontal bar on the ROPS.

Got it. I don't have a BH so no need for them. Thanks for clearing that up.
