Over the years of bashing through the over growth, saving me from Widow Makers , I ripped the whole LS canopy off my tractor. All I got is a frame left.

Any of y'all have any replacement suggestions?

Maybe an auto body shop can do something?

I just got a nice used tractor canopy from a used tractor dealer for $200. I stripped the paint off of it, repainted the frame. Looks great!

I have this steel canopy.

Do you know if it can be left on when trailering the tractor? Is there a max. speed?

All I know is my dealer installed it and delivered it on a flatbed. It was a five hour trip on highways. I can’t imagine that the driver didn’t travel at normal highway speeds. It is steel, not plastic or fiberglass and the dealer said they never had an issue with them being transported.

Out of stock & $135.00 for shipping. WOW!
Maybe contact the manufacturer that I posted previously? They may know of dealers in your area. My Kubota dealer had them and installed it before delivery.

If the original was metal, can you recover it, hammer it back in shape, reweld/patch any tears & reuse? If original was plastic, golf cart canopy probably the best (cheapest) approach.

Tuff Top.

Spendy. Yep.

Worth it, double yep.

My Tuff Top got into it with my shop door... the door lost.

Can be removed easily also. But not by a shop door.

That's what I have now and yes it does seem pretty durable and resilient but can't be left on when going above 35mph (When hauled on a trailer) which is the only negative.

I know the canopy that I referenced that my dealer installed traveled 5 hours on state highways and an interstate. It handled the trip just fine.

I have no experience with high speed and the Tuff Top canopy. Just low speed high torque run-ins with limbs and shop doors... Limbs lost also

I had a fiberglass canopy that I ran into road sign with. It flexed but the paint stayed to the road sign .....

As far as trailering with a canopy, I backed my tractor on my trailer and ran a rope over the flimsy end to tie it down. It made it 200 miles with no issues.
