Hard top canopy. Any suggestions?

[TerryJ]

I just bought an almost new Case IH JX80 with rops and would like to put an aftermarket canopy on it. Needs to be rigid type, no soft tops. It doesn't matter if steel, fiberglass, aluminum, plastic, etc. I just need some suggestions for now so that I can start comparing. Thanks.

I bought my weatherbreak from Femco and they are really a good company to deal with!

I have a steel canopy from Wells and really like it.

Westendorf makes a nice canopy, too!

Hope this helps.

I have a Tel-Trax, also linked above. I am very pleased with it. My dealer recommended it over other brands for quality and coverage.

This is very similar to the Tel- trax, but another to consider.

I have to second the Well's Ag canopy. I have had one for about 9 years now.

I think that may actually be a Tel-Trax being resold by The Smart Farmer. The phone number for The Smart Farmer is a Knoxville cell phone. The business does not provide a physical address anywhere that I could find, nor do they have an "About" link describing their business. They do not appear to have a business phone listing.

I would not be surprised if they are little more than a web site, and everything they sell is drop shipped. Might as well deal directly with Tel-Trax. They are a known entity.

After looking at some pics a little closer, I believe that you may very well be right. I would guess that whoever has the lower price would be the actual mfg? Now I'm wondering who my dealer got mine from, not that it really makes any difference. I am very happy with it.

Tel-Trax is the manufacturer. They are not that far from here. Mine came through my dealer, and there was some confusion about the ROPS measurements on my Branson, so the dealer asked me to call Tel-Trax directly to make sure everything was correct, which I did. They are nice folks, and it was a pleasant exchange.

Tel-Trax has their own delivery service to local dealers, so I was able to avoid shipping charges by going with that brand. A nice bonus.

I got mine from the JD dealer, cost a little more than the after market ones, even though I know Deere doesn't make it, it's well made and looks right, the only thing I don't like is how it makes it alot LOUDER!!! while in the seat.
