Has anyone purchased/mounted a Sun Guard canopy (Tractor Canopies | Tractor Canopy Sunshades | Sunguard LLC)? I like the looks and it comes with a very decent price tag. I am, however, a bit concerned about the ABS material holding up to snow load. It's not as though it will sit all winter with snow piling up on it, but we've been known to get a foot or two or three in a single storm and kubota doesn't get fired up until all the plowing accounts are taken care of.

I have no idea how prices would compare now, but in 1999 when I bought the Kubota B2710 my dealer told me the Wells Ag Company canopy would be cheaper than the Kubota plastic or ABS of some kind. The price was the same for unpainted diamond plate aluminum or steel painted to match your tractor brand. I went with the steel.

I have a sungard top on my JD3320, I installed the top then measured across the two bows, bought some 3/4 square tubing and welded in front&back . it has ben through two west michigan winters stored out side and no problems-plus the front tube is the ideal place to mount the aux,lights

Woodland, I have a new kubota sunshade still in the box for a year now. I need to swap out my folding rop or weld it solid, it rattles quite a bit the shade would add to the problem.

I really like the look of TractorSunshade.com But nobody near me carries them in Orange and the freight to order just one in too much to overcome.

Medicshawn...go see Luther Simms at Cavalier International in Ashland. I bought a canopy for my L3940 from him (them) and it's great. Strong, easy to install, has sound insulation on the underside and is very stable. I can't remember who the manufacturer is, but is not Kubota....but it's Kubota orange
. It was $350.00 and a regular stocking item for them.

Yeah I looked at theirs when I was there last week. I needed some chain hooks to have welded on. My tracors not getting much use over the winter but I will have something by grass cutting season.
