J395A_197201 MINIMUM PERFORMANCE CRITERIA FOR ROLL-OVER PROTECTIVE STRUCTURES FOR TRACK-TYPE TRACTORS AND TRACK-TYPE FRONT-END LOADERS

These criteria apply to track-type tractors used only for bulldozing, ripping, push loading, front-end loading, or pulling a drawbar load. (See SAE J727, J729, and J731 for description and nomenclature.)

Because this recommended practice presents both procedure and criteria that are intended for consideration as worldwide standards for ROPS, the following points are explicitly stated to aid in understanding its underlying principles, intention, and application.
