Howdy all. I'm new to the forum. In searching ads for used backhoes I have seen the acronym erops. Could someone please tell me what it means? I did a search but no luck. Thank you in advance.

Uh, I guess so. You'd want to avoid buying anything with one of those though. Go for one with a NUROPS (Never Used Rollover Protective Structure). :yup
