	Thanks for posting that Jeff. It is obvious that their only real concern is liability issues.
	Understandable...
	 It is also obvious that the "safety issues" are all things that almost all of us on this list
 face with our old tractors almost daily. Well, OK, no Japanese decals...    <(^¿^)>   
but there were few warning decals and many of those are gone now.
	If I do get this rig I do want to add a ROPS and seat belt to it since it is so narrow. 
The seat belt is not something that I would likely be fastening and unfastening as I 
climbed off and on moving implements or running a cultivator through the pumpkin patch 
but I would be quick to buckle one when mowing in an area with any hillsides or mowing 
along a ditch etc.
	My BIL at Pensacola turned one of these (came from an island banana plantation) over
 while bush-hogging an unfamiliar lot. He didn't see a small stump and since he was turning
 at the time the front wheel missed the stump and the rear went up on top of it. He was 
lucky... and unhurt but sore.
