Canopy Mfg.

[wolc123]

I made one my self because none of the aftermarket ones seemed large enough to do a good job. Mine also has some depth to it which helps a lot. I used 2x2 wood for the frame and covered it with a heavy duty, tan-colored boat cover canvas. I ran a couple metal supports diagonally to the rollbar which bolt on near the fold hinge. I also drilled a couple holes thru the top of the rolbar to bolt down the top. Canvas/wood construction keeps it very light and putting it on and off is a 3 minute job requireing the removal of (4) 3/8 bolts. It is surprisingly durable and has held up for 4 years without needing any repairs. It honestly works better than the big, old fiberglass canopy that I had on my previous tractor. Taper towards the front make it work under and around trees a lot better and light weight makes it much easier to get on and off. Also, it did not cost me a dime other than about 2 hrs time because I had all the materials laying around my barn. I can honestly say that I am nearly as comfortable with this canopy under the hot old summer sun as I am in the air-conditioned cabs of larger tractors. One thing is for sure, after you have had a good canopy, you will have a hard time going back to an open tractor. I hear folks say the same thing about cabs on smaller tractors. The big difference is that the canopy guys end up with several thousand dollars cash in thier pockets to use for other things. We can also remove it easy to fold our rollbar and get into a std 7 ft door if need be and never have to replace any of those expensive curved glass windows.
