Abstract

A roll over protection device for compact tractors has a tubular steel hoop 14 carried by a channel section coupling 20 and the coupling is bolted to a bracket 12 with holes 34 and slots 36 which enable it to be bolted to the transmission housing of the tractor. The hoop 14 and coupling 20 are the same whatever the make of tractor, but the bracket is intended to fit different models.
