I see many of the guys around here not running ROPS. I know with some brands it is not included with the mower. Who runs with and without them? I run with mine on because I'm a safety nut. :hammerhead:

I leave it on you never if a big branch or tree will fall on you. You really can't flip a mower over trust me on that one.
Seat belts are stupid what happens if the mower catches on fire , or what if the belt stays stuck how would you get off LOL.

We run rops on all mowers. Insurance purposes. Some larger commercial properties who are really safety conscience requires that they be installed and up.

I don't have a set for my tank, but I wish I did, there are some lawns in my area that I would feel more comfortable mowing if I had a set.

The Z(illion) D(ivot) 331 came with it. Always run with it down due to branches, but it does make it VERY hard to drain the can while filling the tanks.

I have mine on but folded down. It works really great for pruning low branches on trees.
I have mine on my machine still. It stays down most of the time b/c of low limbs. If I am servicing a property that has a steep incline its there waiting for me. At the same time, its where i located my after market lights so when I cut in early a.m. or late in evening hours I will have light. I wouldnt buy a mower that didnt have it included. Thats showing you which mower companies to run with.

I cant imagine the ROP weighs more than 30-50LBS, and its not like it causing wind drag.I would leave it on.

do most of the badboys come with rops? Most of the ones I have seen don't have them along with cub cadet. Do you guys with those mowers ever come into any close calls and wish you had them. I hate how when the rops are folded down they rattle right behind my head. That gets very annoying.
