More of a FOPS than a ROPS.

I think its fine for something that weighs a bit more than a lawnmower. Sure design could be improved, but there is probably plenty strength in the copes to resist folding up.

During grinding operations I stand next to the machine running the controls.

Been running my JD850 quite a bit since installing the GT15 turbo. I love it, picked up 1 gear running my flail mower and pulling the disc. The disc is a little big for it but it gets the job done no problem.

So is have a very old Bush Hog mower.. used hard and put up wet.. hasn’t been used in at least 20 years.
I have a situation that needs a mower. This isn’t something that I need often anymore. I got the old mower hooked up and it will technically operate.. but the gearbox doesn’t hold oil anymore. The rest of it is used up, so don’t wanna invest the time attempting to make it hold oil.
I just need one more day out of it.. then I’ll scrap it. I’m thinking of pumping it full of grease and send it. Maybe make a good vent hole in the fill plug.
What could go wrong? Only downside is if it fails completely before I’m done, it wastes a bunch of time and fuel due to travel distance.

One time use. Pump it full and run it.

if you have a choice of grease use the thinner stuff
generally you only get a choice of #2 or #3, but if there's #1 or 00 corn header grease, bonus points

Cornhead grease or pourable grease are my go-to for leaky gearboxes and trailer hubs.

It will probably work for years filled with grease for occasional use....
