Tractor Canopy

[KB9UDE]

Hi everyone. I installed a canopy on my 5203. It is an awesome product and I would recommend it for anyone who wants some shade.

I have one of these on my Hinomoto and now I can't find ENOUGH to do with my tractor!

The link didn't work for me- but I have one on my 3320. Very inexpensive and easy to install. Ordered through them on ebay and had no problems. Prompt shipment and good communication.

Did you order direct from that website?

Do they vibrate or flop around being so light?

I ordered mine through a special ebay listing the company has going right now with free shipping. You can order direct from the mfg.

Mine vibrates slightly as it will on a tractor. No noticeable noise.

Sun Guard or TuffTop? I know Sun Guard is less expensive, but the easy removal of the TuffTop when necessary is appealing. Any further opinions?

I have the Sun Guard on my BX23.
Very nice canopy. Strong enough to "prune" some low hanging oak branches.
I never take mine off.
Vibrates a little, no noise, I insulated mounting bolts with rubber washers.
Welded a 1"x1" cross brace to the front of OEM mounts for rigidity.

NOTE: I just came by an old golf cart that I'm playing with. I needed a top. Every golf cart shop I called had plenty of light weight tops that customers replaced with the new longer, heavey weight tops. Prices ranged from $30 - $50 for the top only - no hardware. They measure ~42" x ~60". Very cheap, if you are able to make one work on a tractor.

Cheers!

FrogLick - I struggled between SunGuard and TuffTop, also. I wanted the SunGuard because I liked the way it looks, and it was less expensive. However, I went with the TuffTop because I thought that I would need to take it off for various portions of my mowing. As it turns out, I have not taken it off since I installed it (Not that I haven't hit a few branches already). I have now mowed my lawn four times with the canopy. So far, it has bounced off the branches as advertised. Being out of the direct sun while mowing for several hours is worth every penny that I paid for it! My TuffTop vibrates at times, but it has not been a problem, so far. Good luck with your decision!!!

Here is a way to use an EZ-GO Golf Cart top on a BX 2200.
