I'm kind of in the same process. I'm going to start by building a FOPS. I will probably add plexi for front and rear wind shields. I wll probably use a thick clear vynle over the top and down the sides. I don't know if I'm going to fasten that with gramets and bungies (like a temp pravilion) or snaps. I want mind to come on and off easity because it needs to be off when I'm in the woods or I'll tear it. I can't have a cab tractor in the woods, I'll just bust it up but want one for snow removal.
