canopy\'s

I've been looking around for a while for a reasonably priced rugged canopy for my sub -compact Kubota BX 2200 . I recently purchased and installed one from a company (SUN GUARD Mower Canopy's (on your search engine) and am really impressed.......easy to install and material made from the same stuff that bumpers are made from........FIY

Re: canopy\'s

Since I already have a Firebird canopyI am not in the market for one. But having never heard of the Sunguard Canopy, I wouldn't mind checking it out for future knowledge. The only problem I am having is. I can find some referance to Sun Guard Canopy's on the web, But No matter how I type it in. I can't find a company home page or even a picture of a Sun Guard Canopy.
Can you post a picture of your canopy and / or a link to the manufactures home page ?
I also don't understand the reason of your second Sun Guard thread /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Re: canopy\'s

Firebird fiberglass makes the best canopy I have ever seen.

Mayhem & JayC
Thankyou for the link and the pictures. I don't understand how I couldn't find them on the web. Their address sure seems simple enough to have figured out.

How much did you guys spend on your Firebird canopy setups?

Re: canopy\'s

I spent a little over $420 about 4 years ago,and I have my tractor in the woods a lot.I can even stand on mine. I even turned my tractor on its side one time and did not hurt the canopy. Money well spent,canopy and my 4 in 1 bucket.

Re: canopy\'s

Gary,
In March of 2003. I paid $450 installed, at the time of purchase. A canopy was one of the key items on my spec list.
I also agree with the others. I am Very pleased with my Firebird canopy. The only reason that I would ever take it off would be to install a Jodale Perry cab.

Re: canopy\'s

I spent $400 delivered, not installed four and a half years ago. I installed it myself, a fairly easy task.

I love it in the Southwest bake-you-to-death summers. The only downside is it makes it tough to fold your ROPS, and you can't do it all the way, if you need to fit it in some garages/sheds.

Re: canopy\'s

Here is what I found for the cost on these canopys,

Seems like $400.00 might be a bit high if you had to install it yourself.

Since these are dealer prices, sans the shipping, and the dealer must make a profit, $400 doesn't sound outrageous.
I'm sure the dealer has to pay to have them shipped to his/her place of business and would hope to make a decent profit on the sale. Just a thought. John
