That black strap on the side of the seat is called a seat belt. I would use it.

That sounds useful. Got any pics?

Pretty simple. Originally bolted through the bucket and clipped to the spill guard. But fits the fork mounts as well

Thats gotta be hard on things

Man, if I had a monetized youtube channel I'd totally buy one of the cheapest ones and let it go to full self destruction.

The general rule is seatbelt with ROPS and no seatbelt with no rops. Since this thing only has "rops" that will likely fuck right off in a roll over, I intend to bail the fuck out if it tries to roll. That and the lap belt isn't going to stop me from slamming my head in to the front rops bar.

My Hitachi 17 has 3 legged ROPS. It seems fairly secure. I will put my seatbelt on if I am doing and slope work. I have almost been ejected just from driving over a bump in a slope. It gets pretty squirrelly.

I don’t like those spinning blades at the bottom of the ladder.
