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.
Claims14
A ROPS assembly for a tractor comprising a driver protecting part, a coupling for the part, a separable mounting bracket capable of rigid connection to the coupling, the bracket defining multiple fastener apertures for registering with pre-existing attachment sites of a specific model of tractor.
Mounting bracket for a ROPS which has a person protecting part and coupling, the bracket comprising a body with a part supporting end and an attachment end, the part supporting end being standardised to match the coupling, the attachment end being adapted by its dimensions and shape to abut the transmission housing of the tractor and defining multiple fastener apertures.
A ROPS assembly for a tractor comprising a driver protecting part, a coupling for the part, a separable mounting bracket capable of rigid connection to the coupling, the bracket defining multiple fastener apertures for connecting the bracket to a specific range of tractors.
