Well I got lucky. My dealer happens to have a slightly scratched Weidmann Fiberglas top for a great price. Will post a review and pics when I get it installed. Since they are still available for a retail price of $429 . It's the shipping that's a problem, but if a deal on shipping comes up maybe other people would like to see pics of this top and help them decide. :)

I just bought a Fiberglas canopy through Craigslist for $75 for a 2210. Brand new.

Congrats, Jamming! Lookin' forward to your pics, too. Long-term investments are rarely a situation of "getting something for nothing".

More along the lines of "you get what your pay for" - IMO.

Grew up in SD. Used to work for Fish and Game there. Right on the Missouri River. There's walleye there...

Not nearly as many as there are salmon in Alaska, though!!!! :laughing:

Some day I have to get to Alaska. Some of the people I work with say it is very simular to the north cascade mountains just more of everything. The fishing I am sure is amazing.

Well it looks like the pics and install is going to have to wait. Picked up the top today and got home to install, wrong brackets :mad: no problem if you live close to town but I live 2 hours "one way". Should double checked everything :confused: so now I have to wait until Monday for a answer. :(

:shocked: pics ?

This is the original Craigslist posting (with seller's phone number obscured:).) The ad was up for about a week before I bought it. No pics mounted because I have the canopy leaning against the wall in my garage waiting for spring and warmer weather when I will use it as the starting point for a removable homemade hard sided cab. I only use my CUT (4100) for snow blowing because I prefer my Deere Z425 for mowing. The fiberglas roof alone, to me, was worth the $75 but I will also use the heavy duty front supports, with mounting modifications, to build the rest of the cab onto my CUT.

Nice score, I got lucky one time on Craigslist, bought a newer outboard motor for about half price. :thumbsup:

My dealer wants a small fortune for a top. Just need something for the rain.


Around here on Graigslist there are lots of fiberglass pickup canopies in the free to $100 range. Get one of them and cut the top off for your tractor. The frame can be something as simple as a chain link gate frame. Add a couple of plates u-bolted to your ROP to support the frame.
