Canopy Plow Hand brand canopy

[Jeff H]

Does anyone have this brand of canopy or have you seen one?

Tractor Canopy, Tractor Canopies,Tractor Sun Shade,Mower Canopies,ROPS Canopies,Factory Direct Canopies

I like the idea of the color being all the way through, and not painted.

Thanks for the link, Jeff. I've started looking at canopies and this one looks the best so far. Better than the "umbrella" Kubota offers. I like yo wear hats until it gets too hot, then the sun starts giving my bald head a beating.

If you end up getting this one let me know how it works out. Are you thinking about getting the optional lights, too?

 

[Jeff H]

I am not interested in the lights, but I want to know more about the mounting brackets.

They mention optional "under the ROPS" mounting. My BX25 is 37.5" inside the ROPS, and that top is 37" wide, so it should fit inside nicely.

My BX25 drives in and out of my garage with a few inches to spare, I do not want to make it taller and have to start folding the ROPS or taking off the top every time to get it in.

I just emailed the company requesting images of the mounting system and bars. Will forward or post pics once they respond...

Good job, looks factory installed. Welded or bolted to ROPS?

 

[jb62901]

Bolted to the ROP and frame is welded and bolted. Can be removed in 5 min. This will be a start for a cab this winter.

Rather than repost the picture they sent, it probably easier to just request them yourselves. They responded with in a few hours of my request.

The Canopy sits VERY high on the rops. I 'm not a fan of thier design...

They look exactly like trash dumpster lids - the sectional kind.

Which is not to say they're ugly or a poor design... just seems to suggest an idea for a homemade version.

Messicks makes a bracket for securing to your rops without cutting or welding. I used 2 of these brackets and a piece of angle for the lights on my old tractor.

When you purchase from Plow hand you can request the canopy to set high, as much as 8" above the ROPS, touch the ROPS or set under the ROPS and whith the canopy being 56" long you can request 10 to 14 inches in the rear of the ROPS which gives you from 42" to 46" in front of the ROPS with a single, 3 angle or 5 angle adjustment. The quick release system plow hand offers is second to none.
I think it is one of the best and most durable canopies out there.

I'm guessing that's because you sell them. At least be honest about your bias.

 

[Rancher08]

Yes we do, and we sell a lot of them, all over the US and Canada, I wasnt being dishonest, I just thought I would jump in on the post to let everyone know the different options available for this product. The feedback we get from our customers say its one of the best and most durable canopies they have found on the market.
I would figure anyone reading my post would know by my product spec knowledge that I was a sales rep for, or in someway involved with the company. I will be glad to answer any questions anyone may have about our products.
Thanks - Rancher08

The mounting, angle adjustment & removal options are interesting. Could someone post some pictures of the mount(s)?

 

[Flatheadyoungin]

yeah, those could be had for REAL cheap!

i'm just kidding for those that are sensitive.....

Hi, I bought a plow-hand canopy and I love it. I looked around for quite awhile before I decided on it. When I got it, it was better quality than any of the others I looked at. When the mounts didn't work on my rops (not their fault - mine) they promptly shipped me a substitute that would. Got it mounted all by myself (though I would not recommed doing it that way, it is large and a bit heavy to balance and bolt into place), and I'm not that big of a girl. It is really sturdy and a good price too. Anyway, I love mine.
