Agricultural and forestry tractors — Narrow-track wheeled tractors — Part 2: Rear-mounted roll-over protective structures

ISO 12003-2 specifies procedures for both the static and dynamic testing of roll-over protective structures (ROPS) rear-mounted on narrow-track wheeled agriculture and forestry tractors. It defines the clearance zone and acceptance conditions for rigid or tiltable, rear, two-post rollbar, frame and cab ROPS, and is applicable to such tractors, so equipped, having the following characteristics: a ground clearance of not more than 600 mm beneath the lowest points of the front- and rear-axle housings (not considering lower points on the axle differential); a fixed or adjustable minimum track width of one of the two axles of less than 1 150 mm when fitted with the widest specified tyres, and with the overall width of the other axle being less than that of the first axle; a mass greater than 600 kg but less than 3 000 kg, unladen, including the ROPS and tyres of the largest size recommended by the manufacturer.
