Canopy Features

The Rhinohide Canopy is a universal canopy system designed for any tractor or mower with a Roll Over Protection System (ROPS), otherwise known as a roll bar.

True to its name, the Rhinohide Canopy is virtually unbreakable—made from a very high strength and lightweight plastic (HDPE). We have yet to hear of an encounter too strong for the canopy, yet at just 13 lb the shell is still lightweight enough for anyone to handle.

Remove your Rhinohide Canopy in just seconds with the twist of two hand screws. This is perfect if you need to remove the canopy for storage, trailering, low-clearance areas, or if you’re moving the canopy to the rear to cover your backhoe, or to another tractor or mower.

Our canopy is 37″ wide x 45″ deep. The closer you mount it to your head, the more shade it will provide. The best position for the canopy is about 15″ above your head when seated. On tractors this often means mounting in front of and below the top of your roll bar. Depending on the position of your seat, and position and design of your roll bar, this may or may not allow for much rear head coverage. Some owners still think that’s the best position, others move it high and above the roll bar so the canopy can be placed further to the rear. Still others have notched their canopy to fit between their roll bar.

Backhoe / Multi-Kit

If your tractor has a backhoe, you may consider adding our Backhoe/Multi Kit. The kit includes a second set of mounting hardware you can attach to the roll bar immediately above or below the first set, but facing the rear, so you can swap your canopy from forward facing to rear facing.

Or, if you own a second machine (like a zero turn mower) with a roll bar that has a width within 4″ of your tractor’s roll bar, add the Multi Kit (above) to your order and easily swap your canopy from one machine to the other instead of buying two complete canopy kits.

*Note you can compare the outside-to-outside width of the narrower roll bar to the inside-to-inside width of the wider roll bar.

Ordering (Read This Before Ordering!)

We make one, universal canopy to fit all tractors. So it doesn’t matter if your tractor is from John Deere, Kubota, Kioti, Mahindra, Massey, LS, Yanmar, TYM, Bobcat, New Holland, Bad Boy, Summit or any other manufacturer! It’s all about the roll bar, and 95% of tractor’s we sell to have a roll bar that fits our standard hardware.

If your roll bar is made from tube steel wider than 2.5” or deeper than 4” let us know. Likewise if your roll bar is wider than 42” outside-to-outside let us know, and we’ll ship out the proper hardware.

If your roll bar has an angle greater than 20 degrees, we have parts made just for that. If you have the John Deere 1025R or 2025R, order from this listing. If you have another tractor with a roll bar that’s bent forward, order from this listing.

Installation

Install your canopy in less than an hour. For instructions on how to attach your canopy, watch this video or read our instruction guide here.

It doesn’t matter if your tractor is from John Deere, Kubota, Kioti, Mahindra, Massey, LS, Yanmar, TYM, Bobcat, New Holland, Bad Boy, Summit or any other manufacturer!

We have hardware to fit 100% of roll bars out there. The standard hardware on our Universal Tractor Canopy fits 90% of tractor roll bars. To be sure you don’t need special hardware, it’s best to verify four things.

  • A) If your roll bar is wider than 42 inches (outside-to-outside), choose that option.
  • B) If your roll bar is made from tube steel wider than 2.5 inches, choose that option.
  • C) If your roll bar is made from tube steel deeper than 4 inches, choose that option.
  • If your roll bar angles forward greater than 15 degrees, shop our Canopy for Angled Roll Bars.
Roll Bar Critical Dimensions for Rhinohide Canopy

The Rhinohide is pretty straightforward. Still we have a few things worth considering:

Backhoe Kit
If you use a backhoe, add a second set of mounting hardware to move your canopy from the front to the back. Not compatible with angled roll bar.

Multi-Kit
If have two machines with roll bars, you maybe able to buy one canopy and two mounting kits to swap the canopy from one machine to the other. Read below for more information about the Multi-Kit compatibility.

Grab Handles
Increase or decrease your grip stance with our grab handles. These slip over the canopy support arms and set in place anywhere you’d like with two set screws.

5 ways our canopy beats the competition

We fit every tractor & mower

If your tractor or mower has a roll bar, you can use a Rhinohide Canopy.

Straight or angled.
Square, rectangular, or round.
Our standard hardware fits 95% of roll bars, and we have parts to fit the remaining 5%.

Unbreakable (Almost)

The Rhinohide Canopy is made from a very high-strength, lightweight plastic called HDPE.

Our shell absorbs impact when other plastics (or even metal) would crack, shatter, or dent.

There is no paint to peel or scratch off, and no rust either. Scratches are barely visible since our canopy is black all the way through.

Easy on, easy off

Need to drive in the woods?
Get under a low door?
Trailer your machine?

Remove your canopy in 10 seconds by loosening the two hand screws, and sliding off your canopy.

*Add our Grab Handles if you want to widen or narrow your grip stance.

Mount above or below

Traditional canopies only mount above the roll bar. But the Rhinohide can mount above or below, depending on your preference.

Our standard hardware supports either mounting location.

Made in the Heart of the USA

The shell, the steel, fabrication and powder coating, the hardware, and even the box it ships in.

From start to finish, a Rhinohide Canopy is completely made in the heart of America—Kansas.

Roll Bar Critical Dimensions for Rhinohide Canopy

It’s easy!

Verify these three measurements to ensure you get the right hardware the first time.

A: Measure the outside-to-outside width of your roll bar.
If it’s greater than 42 inches, select that option above.

B: Measure the width of your roll bar’s tube steel.
If it’s wider than 2 1/2 inches, email or call me. We’ll make parts to fit.

C: Measure the depth of your roll bar’s tube steel.
If it’s deeper than 4 inches, select that option above.

But my roll bar isn’t straight…

Can I still use a Rhinohide Canopy?

Yes. We have designed two support arms that work for all roll bars.

Standard Roll Bar Angle Allowance Diagram

This is what we consider a Standard Roll Bar.

The vast majority of tractor models (95%+) have a roll bar that doesn’t lean forward or backwards more than 15°. We consider anything in this range a Standard Roll Bar, and it fits our standard hardware in the Universal Tractor Canopy.

All zero turn roll bars also classify as Standard, for our purposes, so the Universal Mower Canopy fits all zero turn mowers.

(Read on →)

Angled Roll Bar Diagram

This is what we consider an Angled Roll Bar.

We designed a support arm to match the angle of the roll bar on the John Deere 1025R and 2025R.

That same support arm works for angled roll bars from TYM, Rural King, Bobcat, Bad Boy, Mahindra, and Branson.

If your roll bar looks like this, be sure to order our Canopy for Angled Roll Bars.

Improve your grip with Grab Handles

Our handles are angled at 45° allowing you to increase or decrease your grip stance.

The handles are sold as a pair and slide over the support arms to any desired position.
