Thanks for that Ian!

The ROPS is essential as far as I am concerned. None of us have ever driven a tractor before (you can all stop laughing now)... 

The ground is hilly, and the soil is deep.

I can see it won't be long at all before Sasha (11yo) is up and driving the tractor, and if nothing else, that makes it essential.

CK, photos!!!  hehehe

asy :D

Oh.. and I second the Rops thing, I never came really close to rolling a tractor
i dont think one comes "close" to rolling a tractor. from what ive read and heard from people that have rolled tractors, it happens so fast you aint got time to move nowhere. a close call would be breaking your kneck or being paralized, compared to busting a leg. ive had my little 684 into some pretty aqward positions.

Thats a nice looking 684.  We use a 584 of the same vintage and setup only with a Laurin rops cab on it.  Can't seem to get it into tricky spots, as soon as it goes a bit nose down the power steering and hydraulics quit.  We have it about an inch overfilled on the dipstick and that helps but not a lot.

I consider a rops essential on a working tractor, I've never known anyone who was in a rollover accident that thought the machine would rollover.

New Holland TN65 rollover videos, a real eye opener to what a little bump can do.

the little one in the middle there has a hat along with the rops. someday ill put a folding rops on the front wheel assist. i got the 684 with the hat hung up in the woods all the time, one thing it steers a bit tighter than the 4x4. yours may need a new pump, you can shim the valve in the one you have now with some spark plug washers. helps out a bit. rebuilt pumps are 300 bucks. cessna or plessey.

Hiya asy - My vote goes to painting whatever color strikes your fancy. I am  repainting my NAA Ford from its current blue to red. I don't know who painted it blue, but it is a terrible color and I can see the red undermneath when it gets nicked.

The red I use for my Fords is IH red. I love that shade. Seems to hold the red color a lot longer than the orange-red Ford paint. What do you think Redpowerd? Good choice?

I think I need to get a digital camera. Can I post pics from my 35mm?

Yup! - That 830 triple is the one I can't believe, it looks like it is a new factory model. There are a bunch of combo tractors at Rolaag that are fun to see.
