This SAE Recommended Practice deals only with the definitions and terminology pertaining to the power shafts of agricultural tractors in which the power take-off rotational speed is proportional to the engine speed. This is the type that prevails in the United States, Canada, England, and generally throughout the world. The following recommendations will facilitate a clear understanding for engineering discussions, comparisons, and the preparation of technical papers.
Any ROPS meeting the performance requirement of ISO 5700 (Static ROPS Test Standard) or ISO 3463 (Dynamic ROPS Test Standard) meets the performance requirements of this SAE Standard if the ROPS temperature/material and seat belt requirements of this document are also met.
