Tuff Top Canopy-anyone report on these?

ksmmoto · Dec 31, 2005

Here's a photo of the Buggy Top Sunshade I had on the L3430. I don't like it near as well as the TuffTop XL.

Thanks, I thought the larger one would be right for my 3830....

How does the Tuff Top hold up under windy conditions? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

The instructions that come with it say not to tow on a trailer at speeds greater than 35 mph. In normal operation I have not had any problem with wind gusts, but, then, I don't know what maximum gust speeds were occurring.

Well, I bit the bullet and ordered one today, should be in later this week. I felt today was the day since the ORANGE Bowl was happening.
We'll see how it works.

I have an older (mid-90's) Curtis soft side on my NH 2120. I really like it in the woods as you don't get whipped by branches so much, etc. But re your post, the main reason to take it off is to see out better. There's the reflection in the front glass, depending on where the sun is. There's the corner posts in the way. And in the bad weather there's the doors that distort the view. I only use the right-side door as it's too much trouble getting in and out otherwise. In all, I'd 'way rather have it than not (bought the whole rig second-hand) for the sun protection and security in the woods. But I can relate to the freedom my older rig had with no cab.
Of course you learn to get along with what you have.

Ksmmoto after looking at your pics on the tufftop I decided it would work well on my b2910. I was curious though on how you mounted your auxiilary lights on your rops? Did you drill holes or use brackets? Also did you mount any auxillary lights to point in the rear Of the tractor? Thanks as I need your help so I can mount similar on mine.

Don't tell anyone, but I drilled the ROPS! I have two lights down lower facing the back. Another secret is I installed them fall of 2004 and still haven't wired them up yet!

I am going to finish the lights and other items soon as the weather allows.
