Although almost all new tractors sold in the United States since 1985 have been equipped with ROPS, millions of older tractors are not equipped with ROPS and have not been retrofitted. Currently, many manufacturers offer ROPS retrofit kits, including seat belts, at cost as a way of encouraging the retrofit of older tractors. Unfortunately, there is not an effective national program in place to promote retrofit and the associated use of seat belts.
