Yes, I have used mine and it does work. I was being extremely careful on a slope that was not by any means hazardous. In the course of traversing a slight slope in a brome field, my downhill wheel went in a hole the sametime the uphill wheel hit a hump. Both of these were caused years ago by a bulldozer turning that I did not know about. Anyway, yes a ROPS works and it does happen fast and no you can't get off. Hope all you never....never have to experience it....keep safe all.

Anyone ever use a ROPS

The only brand I can comment on is a GB. I have a 260 GB loader on my 4300. I'm very pleased with this loader. The only reason I did not get a JD loader was GB had more lift cap. and 2 year warrity (can't spell) and I liked the skid steer capatable quick tatch bucket and pallet forks ect. The only draw back is that it takes alittle longer to hook up or remove, about 3 min. but I like this brand myself. Happy Hunting.

$The backhoe will do the dry well drainage and the stumps. For the other jobs you are better off with the front end loader and a set of removeable bucket teeth. Frankly, I don't think you can justify the price of the tractor with these jobs. You can get them done commercially - and better and faster - for a fraction of the price of a compact tractor....much less a compact with loader and hoe. You might be better off to justify the tractor in play terms: it being fun to run. Or you can use the "large sandbox" justification....where a few acres is about the right size sandbox... or you might try the argument that it will save you from suffering a bad back down the road. and believe me, if you end up with a back injury a tractor would have looked cheap at any price. All of these are valid arguments. But saving money on dirt-moving projects is borderline at best.$ Backhoe Capabilities
