L3400 Sun Canopy

[lreops]

Well, the weather is finally cooperating and with such, I was able to get my sun canopy mounted as well as my rear view mirrors. The canopy was more or less an afterthought as my original task was to have the rear view mirrors but was not happy with the available mounting locations. I had thought about adding a canopy, but wasn't sure when that would happen. Plus thinking of adding some better lighting was also in the future.

So, to mount my $29.00 a pair mirrors in a (to me) more suitable location, it ended up costing about $500.00 more to mount them.

Ron,
that looks like money well spent, mirrors up there are the perfect solution!

Very nice... been thinking about a canopy myself. Where did you get it? Does it mount strongly?

Great looking setup. And I like those mirrors too, where did you get them? I had pondered mounting GM LD truck mirrors because they are cheap, plentiful, and hold up very well.

On another note, I have a canopy on my B2150D. But the ROPS is WAY to tall. That makes the canopy too tall, and other than around noon, it's so high that I'm often in the sun anyway. I know the safety police will have a coronary, but cutting down and shortening that ROPs is on my list of things t do. It will also fit under my awning better too.

Looks good,, I figure that my lovely bride would take about 5 mins to remove it on some tree branches I missed taking off or the garage door,,, don't ask about the garage door

I got the Canopy at http://www.covermytractor.com/Kubota-Canopies-and-Sunshades-s/2314.htm . I got the one piece (there is a three piece for cheaper shipping). Was surprised at how rigid it was, being that the forward support extended pretty far forward. Simple installation.

Got the Mirrors from http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fully-Adjus...H_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19dfe9cb01&vxp=mtr .

That's definitely going to be a challenge to keep remembering to not just look down, but also up. I don't have a whole lot of upper obstructions, but just enough to get me in trouble

Thank you everyone for the kind words.

Can you tow the tractor with that canopy?

Yes, no problem towing. The canopy is very ridgid, nothing really for the wind to catch on to.
