<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>

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.<br>
><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>
