I have an orange one for my Kioti. Got it in 2006 I think.
Enjoyed it for several years until I decided to park tractor in the shed and had to remove due to height.
Just yesterday, I completely disassembled, brushed, sanded, repainted all the metal parts, replaced all the rusted bolts with SS. Put it back together today and will remount after this storm (Erick). Am selling the Kioti and will include the TuffTop canopy. Was tempted to put it on my LS, but decided against trying to paint the orange plastic.
I’d buy a new one for the LS but having problems with the shipping, either seller won’t ship or charges a fortune.

Mine is molded fiberglass. Purchased from the Kubota dealer. I find it helps on the really hot days with bright sun.

Krylon makes a good rattle can paint for plastic, I used it on a few plastic outdoor chairs I have and it’s held up pretty good and I leave them outside 24/7 365.
Shipping can be a pain to the island for sure, a friend of mine sends me Kona coffee beans once in awhile.

I looked at a fiberglass sunshade but this was almost half the cost and if it works I can buy some grab hooks for the bucket with the money I save. Always like a deal as long as it’s a good deal.

I'm looking at the same Tuff Top for my Yanmar. Seems like a good value for the price. Heavier units get spendy quick. I found one at a different vendor for $209 + shipping. Unfortunately they have been out of stock for months. If the don't receive stock soon I will be ordering from All States Ag. All states price total (+shipping or "free")Tuff Top.JPG is the same whether you go direct to their site or A.com.

So over all it has been a good sunshade for you? I pickup my GC1705 up this Saturday at the dealer and when I get it home the sunshade is going on asp.
