Where should I look to buy a sun shade for my B3030? What material is the best to get? What should I pay for it? I need advice.

Thanks for the info. Do you have one of these? If so, how do you you like it and what did you pay for it?

On and off in seconds and very durable- can't tell you how many tree branches I have scraped it along!!!
You can buy it direct.

Get a Kubota unit. I did for my L4330. They are very well made and braced, the right color and built to fit your tractor. You get what you pay for. Saving a few bucks buying a non factory unit is not always wise. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I have the factory one ($350) on one of my kubota's. It's great If you don't need to fold the ROPS down. I didn't get one for the other Kubota because of needing to fold the ROPS to park it in the shed.

I have a Firebird Fiberglas Canopy.

Color is an exact match and it looks great as well. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

SCB & ronjhall, I bought the tufftop. I called the distributor, that is 40 minutes from me, and they had the rep. call me. He was at the dealer in my town, so, I went, met him, and paid for it. I drove to the distributor and picked it up. I just got finished putting it together. It looks great! The orange matches. It looks like it will take some abuse and then bend right back into shape. It is about 35 to 40 lbs. Four knobs and 15 seconds later, it is off. It has several different angle adjustments, so, it will be level. I painted the mounting bracket, that stays on the ROPS, the matching Kubota grey. It is still drying, so I will put it on tomorrow. Thanks for your help everyone.
