Those look really nice Bernie! Do you have any pics with a JD? You've got my attention on one.

Those do look nice for the price, but I think if I had one it would get in my way around low hanging trees.

PLOWER, when you live where it's as hot and sunny as it is here, a canopy is almost an absolute necessity. But I have no doubt that I would soon break a plastic or fiberglass canopy. I've bent the edges of my steel one already. However, I figure there will definitely be a market for Bernie's canopies at his price. At the time I bought my tractor, the dealer said the Kubota canopy (plastic or fiberglass?) was $395 (and they never sell any of them), but he had the insulated steel, painted to match the tractor, or unpainted diamond plate canopies from Wells Ag Co. for $295. I got the one painted to match the tractor and love it. Since Bernie is $100 less, they'll probably sell well.

Seems like it wouldn't be complicated to make a softside cab enclosure for that canopy! Few snaps around the canopy, some sewing with canvas and vynal and you could have a winterized compact! Bernie??

Bernie, a lot of the people here like canopies that have a front wall. That is because they mount tiltmeters (very popular among TBN members), thermometers, and other gauges there. Can you make a style that has a front?
