Clearing Snow Off An Open Station

[jyoutz]

How about checking into buying/rental of a shipping container? Tarps only work until a windy cold front moves through. The same with those tent like temporary shelters. In my area you can buy a container for a few thousand and rent one for a few hundred.

Welcome to TBN

I just tarp it and fold the seat down. Leave plenty of ventilation. Never worry about scraping hydraulic cylinders/rams unless it is a real bad ice storm.

THAT's the right way to tarp an open station with canopy !!

That’s why God gave us the cabbed tractor.

God wanted about $2,800 when I looked at putting a cab on mine......

Several ways to go about;
a tarp over the canopy as was shown;
a tarp folded and pulled to the rear under the canopy and unfolded to cover the operators station;
Sweep it off with a broom before using;
Cover my tractor has some nice looking fitted soft cabs;
If you goggle soft cab over canopy tractor you will get a lot of results;
I bought a 4 place golf cart cover for my IH;
doesn't look like much in the first pic,
but in the 2nd and 3rd it was working good.

I have a poly tarp which starts at the front of the hood and runs all of the way back to cover my logging winch. I tuck it down inside the loader arms, inside the fenders and tie it on to the winch.

Well worth it!

I just used a medium weight cheap tarp and ball and loop bungees.

Amazon.com

They are easy to loop around hydraulic cylinders, loader arms, 3 point lift arms, ROPS, etc. Took about 2 minutes to cover my old Ford, and eveything was dry underneath. I never had much of an issue with condensation since the wind could flow freely underneath.

Just move to the south and eliminate the problem altogether!
