While I am resting from trying to figure out if I have learned too much here to ever be able to be happy with any tractor I can afford, I turn my thoughts to what I will want to add to it after I get it. I looked at a canopy or two while visiting dealers, but it seemed they were pretty proud of them - to the extent of $390 or so. I can certainly appreciate why having one would be nice - we all like to work in the shade - but it also seemed that a custom umbrella clamped to the ROPS in some fashion would do almost as well for those hot summer days, as an expensive canopy. I am not talking about the typical umbrella we may have under the car seat, but something a bit bigger - I have even seen a clamp on beach umprella. I am sure there are some downsides to doing it this way, but maybe there is already something out there - a canvas canopy, clamp on umbrella, or . . . of course there is already the "hat" but I don't like to wear hats.
