Ford 5610 Building Rops installing wider steps and led lights

[@kirbyyork7669]

Very good build. I’ll be building a ROPS for my John Deere S240 lawn tractor. My home terrain is very flat but there is still a chance of rolling over on my little lawn tractor, so the ROPS will be a good way to protect me if I do roll over.

Thanks, it's starting to look like something usable 😂

[@tristardiggin]

Very nice! You are making some great progress with the tractor. I’m still jealous I don’t know how to do that kind of stuff…😢😂

[@LifeWithChase]

Haha, yep it's coming along good. Still gotta rebuild the loader for it also. It just takes so much time to do this stuff...

My vote goes towards moving the wheels out, tractor would be a little more stable to.

Trying to keep it where could be put on a bumper pull if needed.

How do you like the mahindra? I got a 5145, loader, 4x4. Been good to me so far, best thing i ever bought. Id move the tires out 2 inches unless that keeps you from hauling it with a trailer or doing whatever. Looking good, thanks for sharing.

Like my Mahindra, very strong loader. A little high geared compared to some tractors I've ran and no wet clutch, but it was also cheaper. I bought it from a Deere dealer. someone traded it in and it needed a clutch and the splines on the front pinion where the drive shaft attaches were stripped. It does what I need. I had a 6500 Mahindra about 12 yrs ago I bought that was partially burnt. I repaired and used for a few yrs, then had to sell for financial reasons. so when I seen the 8560 I had to buy it... The loader on the 8560 is much stronger than what was on the 6500 I had, also more reach and height...
