What are you using for shade or protection from weather while working or on tractor rides.

I like this one the best, works good and I made it myself. Just need a conduit bender, three 10 foot sections of 1/2 inch conduit and some 1/2 inch rod. Then make brackets to fit you fenders. If anyone would like I could get a picture of the brackets. I did have a canvas guy do that part out of the heavy canvas.

Hopefully just being around tractors you would know a tractor imbrella is what you are looking for. Do a web search for that and you will get all kinds of choices. I do not know where you are but about anywhere in the farm belt you will probably be able to find one at a Tractor Suppy, Fleet Farm, Runnings or whatever brand of farm store is in your area.

As posted these can be found in most farm stores and at many dealers that have accessories. The YT store has both umbrellas and bow canopies in multiple colors. Prices can vary so shopping around is recommended.

Umbrella type

Canopy

If your tractor has a roll bar there are canopies available to attach to those as well.

This is what I have, much better than an umbrella, Ive seen many umbrellas turned inside out by a strong wind or a semi passing the other direction. The yellow is fading bad after 3 years, I may try my hand at dyeing it or else just get a new cover for next year.

Have you heard of Shade Tree Mechanic? I work inside pole barn with door open and fans going. I hate working in the sun.

I attached metal to roll cage on Terramite to protect me from sun, rain and branches smacking me while working in woods.

My arms don't like sun. Don't care how much sunscreen I use. I get a red rash. Dermatologist has a name for it. I have to treat rash with 2.5% Hydrocortisone.
I have old white long sleeves shirts that you can almost see through.
Yes, I wear long sleeves in summer and it cooler than getting sun on my arms.
Wear a hat to keep sun off my nose, which Dermatologist has removed many pre cancer spots form.

You can also look on CL for golf cart tops.
Down here in Florida there are many golf cart shops doing customized carts.
The oem top is often replaced and goes in the junk pile out back.
Can get one very cheap.
If you have rops, you could easily attach one.
Or make your own supports.

I lucked out and found an aluminum one when I was walking through the back lot at a dealer.
