Has anybody tried a FEMCO Tuff Top Canopy?

ksmmoto · Mar 16, 2005

Looking at a FEMCO Tuff Top Canopy at the web site below.

http://www.femcomfg.com/canopy.html

I did a search on the Internet for dealers and came up short. Also interested in how well people liked them and how it holds up.

I have a buggy top sunshade now, but I have to remove it to trailer and it shakes and moves around a lot. Also is in the way.

The Tuff Top folds down and can be removed easy, only weighs 70 lbs according to FEMCO's web site.

If anybody is a dealer or knows one please post. I like to order by Internet best as I stay up most of the night in the winter.

Thanks,

They will sell to most dealers. Contact them and they will tell you who is the closest for you. They are not far from me and they do build good products.

I have Tuff Top in the garage waiting to be installed. I'll post some pictures and opinions once I get it installed in the next couple of weeks.

What is the cost of either canopy or the FEMCO sunblocker top??

Just curious..

I called FEMCO, they said the TuffTop would be too small for a Kubota L3430. It is about 4' square, most other canopies are about 4' X 5'.

Does anyone know of a fold down canopy?

Does anyone know where to find ROP's to support the canopies? I'm needing one for an Iseki 1900-TL. I've looked everywhere with no luck. I'm thinking I'm going to have to build my own from 2X4's!

Update on the FEMCO TuffTop. I seen a white one at TSC which carries them now. Took it out of the box. Is does look small for my Kubota L3430.

But great news, I was google searching and found Edney which had a link to the NEW TuffTop XL which is longer for bigger tractors. I will call FEMCO on Monday to order. I will post new update soon.

In a separate thread, I was bragging on my JD umbrella sunshade. That brag was a few days ago, and over the weekend, I barely caught a tree branch with it and mangled the umbrella frame arms.

Ordered a TuffTop XL-48 today. We'll see how it compares for both durability and ease of removal (looks better on both counts).

BTW--- unlike most FEMCO products, this is not made by them. They are a distributor for the line, and only distribute the smaller versions. Go to http://www.tufftop.net for more info and to find the distributor near you. You'll then have to go through the distributor to find a dealer.
