A roll bar is just a righting mechanism. Non-roll bar anchors can have wings that go pretty high.
So, when do wings become a roll bar? Unsurprisingly, this rolls upright just the same as a roll bar. In fact, the wings are probably a little taller than they need to be.
Why would this possibly be better?
- Grass and trash can slide up and out, rather than become trapped.
- The turning action is better, because the wings are canted slightly inwards.
- The drag is slightly less, thus deeper burying is possible.
- The upwards levering of the toe is less because the useless mid-section is removed.
Downsides?
- Not as strong. High strength steel is a must.
- Slightly more complex manufacture.
- It does not solve the roll bar fit problem.
- Could more easily snag the rode unless well buried.
Just brainstorming with you.
