Thank you for agreeing to answer questions about providing rollover protective structures (ROPS) for older

tractors. Your answers are important to farm safety.

There are several kinds of questions for you to answer. The first kind of question asks questions about providing

ROPS from your dealership. The second type of question asks questions about your customers. The third type of

question asks you to decide what is more ROPS or not provide ROPS. Thank you for helping.

This survey is designed to determine how tractor-parts dealers feel about important issues related to providing ROPS to tractors for resale.
