Maybe I am crabby today 

O.K. I'll give you that one. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif I'm kind of crabby too, with this overcast all day. Just plain gloomy. What's it like over there? I didn't use my ROPS today, but umbrella, while voluntary, was used and appreciated today. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

there are some VERY large name lawn mower companies in court right now because of their use of roll bars. 

What's this all about?
More details please.

( 1*are you talkin' 'bout on NEW or ANY tractor?
2*I don't think the sheriff will come out one day and cite me for not having one on my 730 JD, will he?
3*But don't all new tractors have to have one from the factory? )
----------------
1*New
2*I'm talking about who has to provide the ROPS not who is required to use it.
3*No

This may be an extension of a thread on TBN about Simplicity's. They are in the Sub cut area but ROPS are optional. I think the JD also has a lawn tractor that can have a loader but no neccassarily a ROPS. The question was why do they not have a ROPS with a loader but BX/2210's/TZ do.
