Roll Over Protection Structures
are a Life Insurance Policy you hope you'll never need!
"...even with the smallest tractor sitting on your chest, your first breath will almost certainly be your last".
- F.A. Ford
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) said it best when this organization called tractor rollover accidents an "occupational obscenity". NIOSH holds that nearly all rollover-related fatalities could be prevented.
In 1971 California required all tractors with more than twenty horsepower, manufactured after April 1, 1971, to be equipped with ROPS. On October 25, 1976, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issued regulations requiring all tractors used by an employee manufactured after October 25, 1976 to be equipped with ROPS. In 1977, California passed legislation requiring all tractors older than 1971 to be retrofitted with a ROPS by 1977.
What are ROPS?
Rollover Protection Structures (ROPS) refers to operator compartment structures (usually cabs or frames) intended to protect equipment operators by creating a protective zone around them. When used with a seat belt, the ROPS will prevent the operator from being thrown from the protective zone and crushed from an overturning tractor or from equipment mounted or hooked to the tractor.

How to choose the right brake controller for your tow vehicle
An electric trailer brake controller is a device that supplies power from the tow vehicle to the trailer's electric brakes. Many styles are available that range from how they look and function, to the number of brake axles they control. There are two basic types of controllers: Proportional and Time Delayed.
A Proportional (or pendulum) brake controller senses how quickly the tow vehicle is slowing and applies the correct amount of braking power to the trailer.
A Time Delayed (or solid state) brake controller, as you step on the vehicle brakes, a pre-set amount of braking power is sent to the trailer. There is a slight delay as the unit ramps up to full braking power.
 Proportional Brake Controller
With Proportional brake controllers, as you step on the brake pedal, a motion sensing device inside the unit determines how rapidly the tow vehicle is slowing and applies the correct amount of power to the trailer brakes. This type of brake controller provides the smoothest and quickest braking while providing the least amount of wear on both the tow vehicle and trailer brakes. Proportional controllers are "enabled" by the brake pedal switch and "activated" by a pendulum circuit that senses the vehicle's stopping motion and applies a proportional voltage to the trailer's brakes. When the controller is properly adjusted, the trailer will decelerate at the same rate as the tow vehicle, increasing braking efficiency and reducing brake wear. READ MORE
