I store the tractor in a dark shed with an opening to the north and in the shadows of a bunch of trees. I had to wait until I got it out to get a picture:Spencer YostOn Jun 3, 2019, at 11:43 AM, Phil Auten <pga2 at basicisp.net> wrote:
  
    
  
  
    I bought an umbrella for my Farmall M several years ago and it
      provides nice shade. The negatives of noise and interference from
      trees didn't impact me much, but I haven't used it to mow pasture
      since I have leased them for the last several years.

      My Dad took off the buggy top from our MF50Diesel because it
        would just hold the dust under it.  Our Ford 5000 had a roll
        bar, first tractor to have one.  We welded a frame on the front
        of it and put a steel top on it sloped to the back.  It works
        pretty good for the hottest part of the day.  It is high enough
        to let the dust blow away and it still provides shade.  It is
        high enough that you can still stand up...

          As a youngster, I wanted
            an umbrella for the tractor.  My dad said no 
            and stated all the reasons against it that you just gave. I
            came back 
            with the fact that the neighbor had one and it was sort of
            cool under it 
            when cultivating with his tractor.  The answer was, "he has
            no trees on 
            his farm except in the grove and he doesn't cultivate that."

            > Do you folks remember the umbrella  I got last
            Christmas for the Ford? I have never used it enough to have
            a review until this spring.   I got a Femco and it is
            well-made. I’m very happy with the overall quality of the
            product itself. However, I am not too happy with the general
            idea of an umbrella, at least around here. Not stable in a
            very stiff wind(moves out of adjustment and flops all the
            way back), nor is it all that awesome for mowing when you
            are at the edge of fields. The tree branches simply get into
            it too bad.   Plus it tends to funnel the sound of tractor
            so everything is a tad louder.

            is nice mowing pastures as it does provide the shade.   But
            I’m near too many woodland edges during other chores and
            drive along too many tree-lined tractor trails between
            fields and buildings to make this very practical.

            > For some reason I just didn’t see the umbrella as being
            a big impediment along the trees.  So it isn’t like I didn’t
            consider it when I purchased it; I just didn’t think it
            would be a big deal. I was wrong.
