Overview

The New York Center for Agricultural Medicine and Health (NYCAMH) has obtained grant funding from the NYS Senate Agricultural Committee (Senators Catharine Young and Jim Seward) to offer New York residents a rebate for the installation of rollover protective structure (ROPS) on tractors that are currently unprotected.  This effort is undertaken in partnership with the New York Farm Bureau, Farm Family Insurance and Northeast Equipment Dealers Association.

The program will rebate 70% of the entire cost of retrofitting (shipping, parts, and installation if you choose to dealer install) up to $765.  Only one tractor per program year is eligible for a rebate. Before ordering a ROPS, participants must register online or through the toll-free ROPS hotline.

If you choose to register for the program, ROPS staff will send information regarding available ROPS options (rigid rollbars, folding rollbars, ROPS awnings, or cabs), estimated costs, as well as ROPS suppliers.  To reserve your rebate, you must re-contact the ROPS staff by phone, as funds are available on a first come, first served basis. Upon submission of receipts for all expenses, a rebate check will be mailed to you within 30 days.

Register online or call 1-877-ROPS-R4U. ROPS staff are here to support you, for further information or if you have questions please email BBAYES@NYCAMH.COM.  Please provide your name, address, phone number, tractor make, and tractor model.
