Canopy New sun shade

[FIREMAN Q]

Just installed. Not sure if I will end up liking it or not. Bought it thru my dealer. Ended up being around 500$. Not highway rated either so that should be a fun test. I did enjoy not having sun beating on my bald head.

I always thought of getting something like that when I had a smaller tractor. The new tractor will not fit in the carport with the ROPS up. Plus I found that the ROPS in the up position knocks all the snow out of the pine trees along the driveway. It does look like a great summer idea - my bald head burns in the summer also.

That is about what I paid for mine.The dealer said he has towed tractors with these canopies down the highway at 70 mph and has never had a problem with one coming loose or breaking.They are quite tough.

Congratulations. Nice canopy.

I have those on most of my main Kubotas and haven't had one come off yet. I do have little dents in the front edge of the fiberglas where I keep hitting tree limbs. Over 20 m inutes in the sun for me requires one and worth the money. Melanoma, skin cancer is more expensive and sun burn isn't pleasant itself.

I wonder if a hair transplant costs more than the canopy?

Your going to like it, beats being cooked by the sun.

Wouldn't want to be without mine!

Not sure who makes the one that is on the OP's tractor, but Firebird Fiberglass in Glendale, Az makes a very good fiberglass unit. I have been hauling tractors with these canopies for over 20 years and have not had any issues. I hauled some for over 200 miles at freeway speeds. the ones for the B series run right at $500 and the L & M series are at $600. They clamp to the ROPS uprights and take less that 30 minutes to install.

I am pretty sure the OP's canopy is the same as the one I had which is made of plastic.
