Ho boy, now that is where you are mistaken. I do know heat, my folk's idea of a good summer vacation back in the 60s was to load us up in the vintage Plymouth Valiant station wagon and drive from northeast Ohio to Panama City on the Gulf Coast of the Florida panhandle. My grandfather had a place there. He stayed in the winter and came up north for the summer. We would go down for a couple of weeks in July. Your description brought all those memories crashing back. I'll take the dry heat every time and you are welcome to my share of the southeast, couldn't drag me down there with a team of mules.

Glad you take care of yourself and your crew and no, water by itself is not enough!! People up here think I nuts for wearing long sleeve shirts. I've got one of those caps that have the back and side curtains. Lets me wear my mickey mouse ears (with built in speakers that let me listen to music or audiobooks via a bluetooth) while I'm working and keep the sun off my face, ears, and the back of my neck.

Stay safe!!

I bought a Great Day canopy two years ago. Not suggesting this would be an ideal solution for the OP, but it's the best money I've spent, as far as add-on's are concerned. I added the "headache rack" to keep FO's (flying objects) behind me.:thumbsup:

Hey, I wanna see the rest of that tractor. I really like the mods in that photo. In particular what is that fender storage on the right side?
Nice to see somebody else with a fire extinguisher on board. I just carry a small one unless I'm burning. Then I add the big old h20 extinguisher that I refill and pressurize with the compressor. Makes one heck of a super soaker.

The "fender storage" is just an ammo box that I added on for a small tool box. I decided to "pimp" it out with a black vinyl padded console lol. It was the first mod I did, so the canopy wasn't on it at the time. I just have to be careful about resting my arm on it on a hot, sunny day.



The other addition is a chain tube to carry my chains in.

Sombrero?

I've got my little green JD2305 with its flail and my (for me) big old Ford 4600 with its flail. It's getting toasty up here in north central WA and some serious mowing has to happen in very bright sun and hot days. I can only drive one tractor at a time and would like to find some sort of shade attachment that I can move from tractor to tractor.

Anybody have any experience trying to be cheap this way? Any ideas on something that might be doable?

Thanks
