Do many of you use some sort of umbrella? Considering a buggy type for my D21.

I have the round not-sun shade type on my WD-45 and D-10. It must be secured at the two front corners for wind and taken down for hauling. I also have a golf cart roof (light beige in color) on my One-Seventy that works very well and doesn't have to be taken down for hauling. Remember to take enough clothes when you operate in the shade as it can be cool.

I have buggy type on WD, works good. Had a round one before, wind just kept taking it.
I made brackets for mine that bolt to the fender bolt holes.

Will I get into drilling fenders with mounting a buggy type?

Gotta drill somewhere. Or make some brackets to go down to the platform and get anchored there. Remember it better withstand a 45 MPH wind, because 20 MPH tractor speed into a 25 MPH headwind is 45 MPH.

I know there are photos of tractors with Roto baler roofs grafted on.I am still considering that option on 1 of my D17s.

I did one of these: https://www.tractorpartsasap.com/red-rooster-tractor-mower-sun-shade-canopy-rops-mt-48inx52-orange.html
Not super sturdy, but probably mostly used for parades and such. Too many trees around to make it practical for day to day operation. Probably wouldnt take too much to beef it up a little. It kind of flops in the wind a little at top speed. That much bending back and forth and you know it's probably gonna crack.
