Mahindra canopy weight

RBaldwin · Mar 22, 2017

Can anyone tell me how much the canopy for the Mahindra 3540 weighs? I purchased it with the tractor, however the dealer forgot to put it on the contract. He is still standing behind it and I'm getting it for free, however I am waiting for them to come out and install it. Well he is so busy he is now saying it might be another week or 2 before he can get out. My first thought was screw it, I'll pick it up and install it, but I remember him saying it takes about all two guys can handle to get it installed. Obviously its bulky, but is it heavy as well? I looked all over the net but can't find anywhere listing a weight.

Thanks for any input!

They are not heavy, just too large to handle by yourself for the install.

Not what I wanted to hear... I have a small hydrolic leak they they are supposed to fix, and if they have to come out to install the canopy then I don't have to pay for the service call to have the leak fixed. So I have been patiently waiting, but seriously 3 weeks to get this thing out and installed is sad.

I don't know about the canopy for your tractor but the one on my 4110 is very heavy. Mine is all metal with a blackboard insulator between the frame and top metal. I've had to remove it a couple of times over the years and it was extremely difficult by myself. Even just lowering the ROPS down with it on there is a real chore and to top it off it doesn't give you any more clearance !! I would estimate the canopy weighs pretty close to 100 lbs. +/- a little. I wouldn't have a fiberglas one though, it would have been destroyed many years ago with my use. I can bend the metal back out after being in the woods with it just fine.
