I needed a canopy for my tractor so I put some hillbilly ingenuity together today and came up with a solution that literally saved me hundreds of $$$$. I used a large golf umbrella and a few pieces of PVC pipe. I have less than $20.00 in cost for the material used. I figured I saved about $500.00 based on recent pricing of tractor canopies. The center piece will tilt forward to adjust the shade or it will stand the umbrella back against the row bar. A bungee cord can be used to hold the umbrella more stable and keep it in place avoiding any problems with the wind. I haven’t had a chance to try it out but hopefully it will pass the test.

Think it’ll work?
