Canopy 7265 canopy?

[TerryRealty]

Just purchased a 7265 with FEL, it has a small roll bar, but no canopy top for it, I would like to get a metal top for it as I will be working under a lot of trees and some have dead limbs in them. Any idea where to get one, I talked to a dealer, but he wasn't helpful. Also, I got a 6 ft. Bush Hog finish mower with it, but any ideas on how large of a regular rotary mower it will handle for cutting pastures about knee high or waist high? Also, how wide of a tiller should I get, I'm assuming at least wide enough to cut out the tire tracks?? THANKS!

I'm brush hogging with a 5' woods mower with Lucy, our 7275, in medium range, with no problems (except for having to keep chaff from blocking the radiator). Last September we did 204+ acres of old potato fields with a lot of willow. Averaged about 1.25 acrea/hour. She's a wonderful worker, and I hope you're as happy with your 7265.

Terry, Fill in your profile it will help people when you have questions.

Curtis makes cabs and plows. There is another outfit for cabs but the name escapes me at the moment. They are out of Massachusetts, search under Curtis.

You think a 6 ft. would be too much for it??? I was hoping to get it to where it would cut out the tire tracks real good and to where I could get up closer to fences and buildings with the mower??? But I may be trying to put too much on the tractor???

I have a canopy on both 7265 and the 7360ss. They work great for keeping sun and snow off. Working under trees is a different thing. The 7265 has a Cub canopy that backing under trees with my finishing mower I punched holes in the fiberglass. The cut 1/4" branches went thru the fiberglass like an ice pick. I was not a happy camper. The one on the 7360ss is homemade. I made the frame out of 1' box tubing and bolted 48"x60" bright tread plate alum. to the frame. Then two 5/8" s/s allthread to the ROPS bar. Then I put a large bead of caulk to channel the water off the sides. Rain snow sun works great. The only problem is working under trees. You can't see the best and the alum. canopy I bent hitting a large limb while watching the bucket and the b/hog running thru the trees. The floor jack did straighten my mistake. I mow with both 5' and 6' brush cutters and my 7265 and have not run out of tractor. But to honest if you are mowing fields 5' or taller I use the 5' for safety reasons. Remember the bigger the mower the longer the turn against your fench. That tail has got to swing. 60" tiller is all your 7265 needs. Bigger on that is not better. 60" will cover your tracks.
