Tractor Side Cover
When you buy a new or used tractor, it is important that you have a tractor side cover installed. This will protect the cab of the tractor from paint chipping, rusting and fading. It will also help the tractor stand up to harsh weather conditions and the elements. You will find that most dealers will install it for free because it makes their tractor look more professional. This article will give you the information you need to decide if it is a good investment for you.
The first thing you need to do before purchasing your tractor is to make sure you are getting an aluminum cover. The reason this is important is because they are much stronger than the fiberglass covers. Fiberglass tractor covers warp when exposed to moisture or any other chemicals that can damage it. In addition, they are much heavier and wider than the aluminum ones which will affect the handling of your tractor. Most people will choose an aluminum cover because it is very low-priced.
After you have decided which side of the tractor you want the cover on, you will need to decide what type of cover you would like. Usually you will choose a cover that is able to be locked with a key. This will make it very safe as well as protecting your investment. If you decide that you would like a cover that is more customizable, you may want to search for one that has side vents or window openings on the side that allows you to have a clear view of the back side of the tractor.
