Canopy Adding a Canopy to a Kubota L3400 DT

[awill99]

I just put a Wells Ag powder coated steel canopy on my Kubota. I chose the Well Ag (paid $400 at Kubota dealer)because I have had one on my Mahindra since new and it has survived many tree trimmings and 80 mph tows. I put the about 80 lb canopy on by myself using the Mahindra loader to do most of the heavy work. The attached photos show the key steps. After installing the support brackets on Rops I used 2 each 3 inch wide web come alongs on front and back of mahindra loader (pictues 4-6) to lift canopy in place on top of ROPS. I loosely attached it and the used a board between tractor floor and front of canopy(picture 7) to elevate the front of canopy about 5 degrees above level then tightened mounting bolts and removed board. The heavy weight of the canopy leveled it up. It was very easily done using the loader.

Looks Nice!

I'd love one, but I spend too much time in the woods. Actually the ROPs is a problem most of the time.

I have the reverse situation here- mostly in the sun in the Texas heat. The Mahindra canopy quickly showed me it was worth the money and I didn't waste any time getting one on the Kubota.

Are those canopies insulated to kerp your brains from frying ?

Yes, if I were out in the open most of the time I'd definitely have one! Still I would like to rig up something the was removable?

What's your opinion of the canopy now after using it for the season?
