It's ~64" to the top of the light brackets on the ROPs supports. I'm 6ft tall. With me in the seat, it's about 69" to the top of my head.

Another annoyance with the T224 is the placement of the LED flood lights on the ROPs. They are at face level for me. When you turn your head to back up, you're blinded by them and can't see a thing behind you. I may try flipping them backwards. Not a lot of wiring slack. Everything is crimp and sealed. No connectors. I already lost one of the incandescent H8 headlamp bulbs as well. I may upgrade those to LED.
She does move snow better than I thought it would. Just shy of 20hrs on it at this point.

Indeed the LED floods on the ROPs can be rotated 180deg towards the back. Another feature I didn't know was there. There's a notch and pin that allows for only 180deg rotation. Just enough wiring slack to do this. I flipped them backward and ordered some ludicrous hell fire bright LED replacements for the incandescent H8 headlamps. I went with Fahren/Termitor that are advertised at being 70000LM, which I assume is lumens? LOL I really doubt they're that bright for 35watts of power consumption.

I considered going hella-bright on my headlights and realized that they're often blocked by the bucket, which at night would render me utterly blind for a long time if the headlights were any brighter than the basic incandescents. I think the answer to poor forward lighting has to be supplementary lighting that can avoid being reflected back somehow; I put a light bar at the top of my ROPS, though it needs to be replaced as it's been smashed too many times
