Just saw that RK has a tractor umbrella for 100.00 and it comes in ORANGE!

Anyone have one? Curious if it provides enough shade to make it worth buying.


Thanks

I just installed this on my BX. I was going to order it on Amazon, but discovered the store that it was shipping from was just up the road from me so I went and picked one up.

Got the bigger one on my OS M9. I like mine too. Keeps the sun off my hairless pate. Read a bunch of reviews and a few reviewers said the assembly instructions were cryptic. Never read them, just looked at the blow up picture and put it together. Took about 30 minutes and it was on the roll bar.

Nice unit and a good price too. Got mine the same place you got ours but of course they shipped mine but shipping was free.

Had mine on through one cutting of hay so far. very stable and works as advertised.

I have a ton of trees I mow around and underneath. When I got my L3800, the fiberglass canopy already had a crack it it from the previous owner hitting a limb. After a year, it was falling apart from all the cracks. Needed something cheap and durable. Best thing was a golf cart canopy. Molded double thickness plastic. And CHEAP. Golf cart dealers have a bunch of used spare ones laying around. Easy mod to attach to current frame. Under $50 including a rattle bomb of orange paint. Been used and abused in the Florida sun and not one issue.
