I humbly appreciate everyone's input to this topic. After much research and speaking to people about canopies, I chose to go with Rhinohyde Tractor Company, and purchase their easy to remove ABS canopy. I watched a ton of videos about this canopy, them hitting it with sledge hammers, shooting it with a shotgun, etc... all kind of crazy stuff, but it's made out of the same plastic commercial dumpster lids are made from.
No ROPS modifications are necessary, easy to install, and very easy to remove for trailering or for confined spaces.
Customer service was absolutely TOP NOTCH, the ordering process consisted of me getting the measurements of my vertical bars on my ROPS, the distance between the bars, and for my 5155 it was 2x4x27 inches. So, their kit will work with ROPS up to 4" deep, with their U Bolts. Any ROPS deeper than 4" needs their "all thread" kit.
When I ordered my canopy, one of the owners of the company is the one that answered the phone. He was very patient, answered all of my questions, and even started off with the "CONS" of their canopy, which I appreciated. He said that their canopy is not the largest out there, and they only come in black. That was the "CONS". The plusses are many. They are darn near indestructible, they are very easy to install, and they are light, so very easy to remove.
Once I receive it, I will take some pictures and detail the installation procedure for you guys.
