Tractor Safety: Rollover Protection - Hobby Farms
2024年2月26日 · A ROPS is exactly what its name suggests: a tractor safety structure to protect vehicle operators in the event of a rollover. They’re not exclusive to tractors by any means, but the eye-catching appearance of a ROPS on a cab-less tractor—an arched bar rising up from behind the seat, reaching above the driver’s head—is a common sight.
NASD - Prevent Tractor Overturns
Tractor overturns-both sideways rollovers and backward "flips"-are likely to result in death if the operator is not protected by a rollover protective structure (or ROPS). A tractor has a high center of gravity, compared with a passenger car or pickup truck. This makes them relatively top heavy, and more prone to tipping over.
NASD - Rollover Protection for Farm Tractor Operators
Rollover Protection Structures (ROPS) are roll bars or roll cages designed for wheel- and track-type agricultural tractors. ROPS are designed to create a protective zone around the operator when a rollover occurs.

2015年8月27日 · Use a draw bar that is attached, as per the manufacturer, under the rear differential. This shifts the center of gravity of your tractor lower and farther forward to pretty much eliminate any chances of causing the tractor to flip over backwards. Another thing to consider is the use of a ROPS and a seat belt.
Why the Rollover Protection Structure (ROPS) matters?
Rollover protection structure (ROPS) A rollover protection structure can be a roll bar or a cage frame that creates a protective space around the operator when a tractor overturns.
