Cooling Canopies For Tractors And Mowers
To keep the sun, dust, and bugs away when using a small tractor, mower, or ATV, CoolTops offers its easily mounted canopies equipped with a 12-volt electric fan that pulls about 10 amps, drawing clean, fresh air from above and blowing it down onto the operator.
    The 36 by 41-in. or 43 by 51-in. canopies come complete with mounting brackets and assorted hardware for easy installation on either 2 by 2-in. or 3 by 2-in. roll bars. These sizes cover almost all brands of equipment.
    “The top comes premade with canopy bars already installed where it bolts to the fan,” says Terry Pritchard, Cool Tops Product Manager. “There’s also a rain cover that mounts on the top to keep moisture out of the fan. One tip I always mention is to make sure to install it as level as possible using the selection of holes on the bracket.”
    Crossbars mount to the roll bars, and the fan and cover attach above.
    Once secure, the electrical cable is threaded down the bars and connected to the equipment’s battery.
    “Make sure to leave a little slack in the wire in case the roll bars need to fold down when driving under a low building door,” Pritchard says.
    The American-made canopies come in red, green, orange, and black and are manufactured in North Carolina. They’re available through a dealer network found on the website.
    Prices on the canopies range from around $1,000 for the smaller size and approximately $1,200 for the larger top, plus S&H.
