MASSEY FERGUSON RR 1 MOW P o 2 9-8975 1 Here's a dramatic proof of the "zone of protection" of- fered by ROPS. This dummy "survived" an overturn staged by Case safety engineers to demonstrate the effectiveness of ROPS. Case Program makes adding roll-over protection to older tractors simple, cost-effective Rollover accidents cause more than 50 percent of all tractor related farm fatalities. "But if a tractor is equipped with a rollover protective structure - also known as a rollbar - and the operator uses a seatbelt, virtually all deaths from rollovers can be prevented," said Bill Becker of Becker Farm Equipment. Helping customers prevent rollover catastrophes is the driving force behind a new ROPS retrofit program from Case. Through this program, factory engineered and approved ROPS and seatbelt packages are now available at Case IH dealers for most Case, Case 111, International Harvester and David Brown tractors dating back to the late 1960s when tractors were first designed to accommodate ROPS. "Case has included ROPS as standard equipment on all Case IH tractors since 1985," Becker explained. "With this ROPS retrofit program, we're encouraging our customers who own older model tractors to take advantage of a safety upgrade that could save their lives - or the life of a friend or relative." Under the new program, ROPS and seatbelt packages will be available at economical prices most under $500 -plus freight handling and installation. Prices for Specific models are available at local Case IH dealers. "That's a small price to pay to prevent serious injury or death," Becker maintained. "And with close to 100 different models available, including foldable structures for low -clearance applications, we're confident customers will want to take advantage of this important safety upgrade." For additional information about Case Corporation's ROPS Program, contact any Case IH agricultural equipment dealer.
