I'm looking to get a protector to keep rain and snow off the seat of my bx1880 as it is being stored outside. Is there a protector sold in Canada?

I got this Durafit off Amazon about 7 years ago. Though it doesn't keep rain & snow off, it does provide some level of protection and a somewhat cooler surface temp for my backside than the stock black vinyl. For moisture protection, have you tried using a contractor bag and tipping the seat forward over the steering wheel?
I just picked up a Durafit one as well from Amazon.ca as well for my B2601. The primary reason for the choice was that the arm rests on the tractor were starting to show a lot of wear. It was about $48 ish with the included arm rest covers. It seems to be a good product and great fit.

I emailed Durafit about a seat cover for my LX SU (not the same seat as the LX); they did not have one listed for LX SU on their website. I provided them with measurements and photos. They responded with a model number for a seat cover. I bought it, and it fit very well.
I emailed Durafit and sent them
Pictures and they said they didn’t have a seat cover for my model. Thanks for the help

Sorry to hear that. But when I bought my tractor, the MX6000 was a new model and they told me the same. I went to a dealer and measured seats of comparable sized machines that were listed in the Durafit products. I took a chance and bought a cover based on that comparison and it fits perfectly. So maybe try that.

I found Durafit to be extremely unhelpful and rude, and didn't care for the one seat cover I ordered from them that didn't fit the Grammer seat in the MX. I had to pay a "restocking" fee and shipping to get the cover back to them.
I'm very pleased with the covers I bought from www.equipmentseatcovers.com that I have in both tractors since the quality is much higher with thicker material, way better stitching and a great attitude with customers. I have well over $100k invested in the MX and M so paying more for a seat cover I like is more important than getting something for cheap. I have quite a few hours in both tractors since installing the seat covers and I honestly couldn't be happier with them. I prefer the industrial look to the automotive look, they're comfortable, cool, don't move around, don't bunch up, easy to take on and off, and the plain grey works well for me. I'm not a fan of that orange camo look .... urghhh!
