I certainly agree with JD Seller on this one. I have been around this industry now for 75 years and I think the older one gets the more this accident and death thing bears on him. Selling KUBOTA for years I had a few customers have accidents but here is one that will never leave my mind. About 20 years ago I would have been 55 got a call man wanting to trade for a new KUBOTA. Rode out to is remote farm (back side of nowhere) and when I got there found him cutting a real steep pond bank with a nice little 35 Massey Fergerson and bush hog. He was some bit older than I and thought too much of his Massey for us to trade. I did not tell him how dangerous the tractor with no ROPS on it was working that slope. Figured it was his own business. I drove way only to get to the shop and learn his brother had called the guy rolled the tractor and was killed there on the pond bank. Always wondered if I had said something maybe he would have lived or maybe I had traded he would have went to the house. His son said the man had cut that bank many times but a ground hog had dug a hole and one rear wheel hit that hole and flipped the tractor. No question about it ROPS have saved lives.
