Canopy angle

[Taters525]

Just got a canopy for my L3560 and looks like I can angle it up or down. Anyone have any suggestions. Was thinking angle the front slightly up so the rain runs off the back.

Are you parking your tractor on a perfectly level surface outside where it will get rained on? *grin*

I doubt angle or not will make much difference in the grand scheme of things. I designed the roll cage top to be parallel to the tractor, rain drainage was not a factor in my design, nor has it made the plywood roof rot out any faster or slower over the last 5 or 6 years sitting out side...

Angle as you see fit, be it aesthetics or rain shed... both have value.

Angle it so you can bonk your head on it every time you get on or off the machine. My cab roof is level so I don't have any options for how I bonk my head. Sometimes I miss it entirely.

I use mine for sun protection and it's angled slightly lower in the front. Which for an added plus, tree limbs slide up and over the top and don't hit me in the face (mostly). I don't use my tractor in the rain, tears up the yard and I can wait until it dries up to finish whatever. I also, don't have extra lights on my tractor, when it get dark outside, dinner is waiting for me... tomorrow is another day.

Mine is angled slightly down in the front just because...

I put a tractor canopy on my mower. Angled down so tree limbs would go over it:

Big limbs did not go over when mowing around the trunk :

That first stout tree limb will help with your adjustment angle. It only took me about 20 minutes to find one.

I think common sense says angle the canopy down in the direction you likely will be moving most of the time...

Go full send and don't worry about limbs
