Micheal: I would think ROPS for a 560 would probably have to be a special order. Most of the ROPS were desinged for tractors that you sit farther ahead on and mount and dismount ahead of rear wheel. Even with a special order the problems would be significant. If you build a frame rearward so that you wouldn't be hitting your elbos on it every time you turned in seat, then that same frame would interfere with implements. I scratched my head over this one many years ago. I looked at doing some modifications to tractor in moving the operators platform ahead 15" and then adding the ROPS. When I got the costs all worked out it would have been cheaper to trade for a new 756. Needless to say it never got done. That trade would be even less money today. You could probably forget about the 560 and buy a 756 with ROPS for less.
