Hercules High Performance ROPS for Masseys & Fords

Hercules ROPS has one of the largest lists of certified, retrofit ROPS designs in the world. We are currently rolling out ROPS and FOPS (Falling Object Protection Structures) to suit an increasing number of popular makes and models of tractors and machinery.

Our aim is to offer certified ROPS for many makes and models, at competitive prices: Ford, JD, Inter, Kubota, MF and more!

Hercules ROPS also supplies certified ROPS for most makes and models of Japanese domestic tractors, including Yanmar, Kubota, Mitsubishi, Iseki, Satoh, Shibaura and Hinomoto.

We only supply products that are fully tested and certified to comply with ISO 5700, the International Standard & AS 1636.

Make no mistake - a ROPS is a life insurance policy. You hope you'll never use it but you have to have one!

Your chances of getting killed while driving your tractor are higher than any other task you do around the farm. In fact, one out of every five deaths on American farms, occurs when a tractor rolls over on top of the operator.

The operator of the tractor above walked away from the accident with a few scratches. It had a ROPS fitted.

The operator of the tractor below was crushed to death. His tractor didn't have a ROPS fitted. Tragically, around 250 Americans die this way every year.

Your old tractor mightn't be worth much but your life is! Nearly all tractor flips or roll overs without ROPS result in fatalities. If you won't do it for yourself, do it for your family. Fit a ROPS to every tractor you own!

Alternatively, you might be dead-lucky, like this operator in New Zealand (head visible), who survived...
