Canopy Manufacturer

[sodamo]

Thanks for info. This looks like what I need for my CK30. Hopefully, the shipping to Hawaii won't be a killer as I just shipped my container of stuff and already have too much airline luggage.

I wonder how difficult it would be to reverse mount for use when operating the backhoe?

The TuffTOP fits in its mounting bracket either way so when you are using your backhoe you can simply loosen the knobs, take the canopy off and turn it around.

sodamo,
If you end up getting a TuffTop canopy please post a picture if you can and tell us how you like it. I have been considering one for my CK25. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif I'd love to see a picture of one on a Kioti. Looks like a nice product. I like how easy it looks to remove it.
Thanks,
Phil

Thanks. That's sounds like what I was hoping to hear. Now I'll have to figure out the shipping times so it will arrive around 08/10. Didn't find a dealer link for Hawaii. Wonder what the TBN discount is?

Once I get one, I'll definitely post my impressions and pics. I'm sure it will be Kioti orange /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Has anyone tried one of these on a JD 4110 with a foldable ROPS? I haven't put a protractor to it, but it looks like the upper portion of the foldable ROPS leans forward more than 11 degrees past vertical.

Thanks,
Ira

Here's how a Tufftop canopy looks on my B7510HST.
I don't think it's on the TSC website, but you can find it on p. 215 of the latest TSC catalog ($265.60).
I ordered my canopy from the TSC store in Red Bluff CA and had it in my hands in 6 days.

Hi All, This is Chris Kamerer from TuffTOP. I just wanted to say thanks for the feedback I've gotten from these posts. I am asking anyone interested to give me some feedback about the TuffTOP - the product, the website, whatever. We are a very small, family owned business (my little brother is our shipping dept.) and it is very important for us to grow this product on a grass roots level. Tell us what you like about it and/or what you hate about it. Thanks in advance. The contact page on the website comes directly to me.

Hi Chris and welcome to TBN I sent you a PM but forgot to ask, do your tops have any kind of warranty and the plastic that is used in your manufacturing process will it slowly deteriorate over the years like a rubbermaid garbage can does, you know year one thru three pretty good then they start cracking and falling apart.

Steve, the plastic the panels are made out of is kind of a trade secret but it is the same plastic those orange crash barrels on the highway are made out of. The plastic has the different colored pigments mixed in with it along with a UV inhibitor that is supposed to protect the plastic from fading for at least 7 years (according to the plastic manufacturer). Usually, most consumer goods do not have UV inhibitors because they are not made to spend years in the sun, plus it adds to the cost significantly. TuffTOPs carry a one year warranty on parts and labor.
