Canopy About to buy a 3000 series JD (enclosed cab)

I prefer to just turn the handle to open a window. Lot less glass to clean up.

and it does not take as long to open it and eventually close it too.:laughing:

Ditto to all the post on the positive side. My only complaint is bumping my head occasionally on the Mirrors, i thought it would be cool to have:laughing:- not much use sofar.

Really.... I've tried to weigh the pros and cons of those outside mirrors!?!

I just imagine with all my trees along the driveway and next to the horse corral and pasture fences - I'd break them off inside of 2 weeks!!

But they do seem to help with visibility and ultimately with safety -- still can't decide if they'd be a good option to have installed...

Having had a 3720 cab tractor for almost 3 yrs, I can tell you it's the best thing I've done for staying cool in the summer while mowing, staying warm/dry in the winter while moving snow, repelling bees, and minimizing effects of allergys (dust, pollen, grass).
Regarding the outside mirrors, they are very nice when traveling back and forth on the secondary road along my property (approx 300 acres). I've learned to stoop a little lower when entering/exiting the cab to prevent bumping the mirror. If it weren't for having to travel the secondary road I wouldn't miss having the outside mirrors, ie, don't use them otherwise.

Yeah I use them on occasion - when I can remember they are there! LOL!


I think i will go out and adjust them today. Oh BTW, I talked myself into a back-up alarm with the Power Beyond Kit I just ordered. I will probably put in a switch or something to allow me to disable it when I want too:laughing:

I have a backup alarm on my 110 and I am sure tired of hearing it the only downside to turning it off is I am afraid it would be permanent.

Any plans for the PB?
I almost pulled the trigger on the stupid diverter setup and PB 2 weeks ago....but havent yet. Figured might as well get the PB while I'm installing the diverter...just in case.

You can probably can just pull a connector to shut it off when you want to? I know on mine it is a single plug and that is it.

Oh a log splitter I recently purchased got me to thinking about it and then after consulting a fellow TBN member, I went for it. I did find out I probably need to take both rear tires off to get to two of the nuts to remove an oli line and replace it with two separate pipes. One I can get to, with a Crow Foot wrench head, but the other it does not look so good. I can probably get it off but then I got to get the new pipe connected and to start it, I will need to get my hand in there, and those Turf Specials are definitely in the way. I tried and it was definitely not a clear shot at all and my arm was not long enough:drool:.

Did not want the diverter option. Don't have anything that requires it - yet LOL!

Gotcha...let us know how it goes so I can mentally prep for it Reason I ask is I didnt know if you had some slick idea for adding some "real" remotes out back.

I dont want the diverter either...I'd prefer to have some real rear remotes, but I've been draggin my feet long enough. Working on a 3 function (4 if I put the gauge wheel Hydraulic) rear blade so I think I'll have no choice after this summer....
