<p>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...</p>

a youngster, I wanted an umbrella for the tractor. My dad
said no <br>

came back <br>
with the fact that the neighbor had one and it was sort of
cool under it <br>

his farm except in the grove and he doesn't cultivate that."<br>

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.<br>

> So overall not super excited about the umbrella. It 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.<br>
><br>
> 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.<br>
