Title: Tractor Roll Bar
Post by: Smee on March 21, 2016, 05:14:33 pm

Would anyone know of where we could source a ROP for a compact Yanmar Tractor please? - I've searched the usual.... EBAY, Tractor parts suppliers etc but can't seem to find anything in this country - they are advertised the States but I don't fancy paying the postage!  ::)

You could try secondhand tractor dealers like cowlingagri who may ether have the ROP from a scrap vehicle or better at sourcing spares. Or you need to figure who is the main UK importer and get them to order the part for you - perhaps contacting yanmar's european headquarters.

I know I have had trouble getting less common parts for my TYM and they had to get the replacement plastic back wings sent from the far east (arrived a couple of days ago after 4 mths wait).

Fibal option might be to get someone like an off-rally car racing shop to make you a set

Thanks - we've tried a local fabrication co and they are unwilling to manufacture due to the CE certification. As I understand it only roll bars that have been designed, tested and certified can legally be sold in the uk......guess will have to keep looking for a 'used' one on ebay and suchlike.
