I am getting a **** of a run around from Femco trying to purchase a canopy. Since April 1st, get exuses of production delays etc. Now over a month later I might be able to get one but price has went up from earkier quote by almost $50. Lacal JD dealer is no help!
Anyone bought a unit off of Ebay from "TheSmartFarmer" out of Tennesee?
Would like a Westendorph "CoolCap" but more money than I want to spend.

Any other vendors out there that I might try.Looking for Fiberglass or ABS plastic, roughly 48" x 60" in JD Green.
With bracketry to fit 2" X 6" UPRIGHTS.

Thanks,
Tim

Have you considered the tuftops? They are a hard plastic, but can be quickly removed if needed.. There is a guy on ebay selling them as well


there was a guy on ebay selling the tufftops but I cant seem to find him now

These tops are "really" built small to avoid oversized freight charges - they are not going to cast a lot of shade. Look at size/dimensions when researching canopies . So customers cut the dimension out of pieceof carboard and place on top of the ROPS to verfiy size before they purchase.

Mine has been great, can order from Deere dealer.

I've whacked mine on low branches hard enough that I thought it would get damaged but has not, I bought mine for snow and rain but is great for sun to.

Perry Manufacturing makes a metal canopy that is highly rated and osha compliant for ~$500 I bought one several years ago for my Ford 4610 and it's been great.

you could also try TractorSunshade.com nice product and comes in every color. You need to fins a dealer that stocks them in your color ( or will start carrying them) or freight is ridiculous.

I agree on the small size.. I have a 50x50 umbrella from TSC and I would need the mid size (XL) tuff top to even get close to that coverage..
