Looking good.
Since you set your canopy lower than the ROPS to fit inside a 7' door, do you have to watch your head climbing on and off the tractor?
I also have a 7' door, and want to start with a canopy, but need to decide between a tool-less removable canopy, mounting it lower and in front of the ROPS as you did, or ripping out the 7' door and putting in an 8' door (that's obviously the most expensive, but I have the room to do it).
The other issue is that I'd like my canopy to cover the backhoe seat, so I may just need to build my own, or buy a large one and fabricate my own mounting brackets so I can position it exactly where I want it. But I don't know that I'm too keen on installing and removing a canopy every time I park the machine in the garage. As it is, folding and unfolding the ROPS every time has gotten a bit old.
