That is right. I did test the other day to see at what point it would blow off of the wire holders. At about 45 MPH on my trailer it decided to fly. It got ran over. I picked it up, turned it over and put it back on and it's just as good.
Excellent project. I'm just learning how to weld (self-taught from YT videos) and I think this is going to be my first "real" welding project after I finish with my practice pieces. I have the TYM T25 tractor which, I believe, is the same as your RK. How do you know what angle to put between the hole for the pin that holds the conduit into the pipe and the "sticks" (bits of the sign stand) that you welded onto the conduit? You obviously don't want them sticking straight up (vertical) or straight out (horizontal). I would think 45 degrees would be too much as well. Yours look like they are perfectly aligned with the bow of the coroplast. It seems like maybe the best plan is to not drill the hole in the conduit until after you install the "sticks" and put the coroplast on it. Let it find it's own position, then mark and drill the conduit.
good job on making that. I was wondering if you have used it when it is windy. I get a lot of wind in the midwest where I live. I would think that would just rip it right off of the metal pins? I am working on a design and think I will use canvas that slips over two metal poles similar to what you have.
I purchased it from my local plastics dealer - Meyer Plastics. They have several in the midwest. You probably could also go to a sign shop. I know we stock 4x8 sheets of it at ours.
Every other cover requires installing brackets as well. The point was how fast you can take it on and off the tractor after it's all set up. I've never seen anything that comes off or goes on faster than this cover. And it's very inexpensive, especially compared to the $400-$600 models you can buy. Plus it's easy to store and easy to repair / replace if it gets damaged.
Nice and easy
Nicely done.
Thanks!
I like it, Nice job!
Great idea, works just as good as the $500 dollar model and your not out a lot of money if you hit some low hanging branches.

Nice job... I would NOT weld to the ROPS though. Drilling, cutting, welding, weakens the ROPS. To what extent, I can't say but it's your risk.
Easily less than $100! Wow!

Not counting on how long it took to install the brackets, not a tru test dude
