I was reading about Iowafun misaligned Pins on his rops and wonder if the base plates were torqued correctly.
My pins are taunt but I hardley ever lower it. However I can see if the base plates were torqued crooked it could screw up the pin alignment.
Without going into 35 arguments about libality issues. I would loosen the base plates and check the alignment of the pins and retorque the plates evenly.
Just a thought to ponder...

2ndhand - The trator has never been roller/tipped by me and I bought it new. I haven't run into anything with the ROPS either. So only issue would be at install, a manufacturing issue or an incident prior to my purchase of the unit. I should complain to the dealer and see what/if they will do anything about it. ....
