A tractor canopy bolts onto your ROPS (Roll Over Protective Structure) frame to give the operator shade and weather cover on an open-station tractor. Bareco's range comes in three sizes — Junior, Standard and Senior — in six colours, with mounting kits matched to your specific ROPS frame type. Getting the size and mounting kit right the first time comes down to two measurements: your tractor's width, and your ROPS frame's shape and tube dimensions. This guide covers both.
Canopy Sizes
Canopies are sold either as a canopy-only, or as a combo kit ("CK" prefix) bundling the canopy with a matched mounting kit at a lower combined price than buying separately.
| Size | Dimensions | Suits | Canopy only | Combo kit (with mounting kit) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Junior | 860mm x 1200mm | Garden and small compact tractors | from $435 | from $585 (CK1) |
| Standard | 1145mm x 1524mm | Mid-size tractors | from $485 | from $645 (CK3) |
| Senior | 1525mm x 1650mm | Large farm tractors | from $590 | from $790 (CK5/CK6) |
All three sizes are available in White, Green, Orange, Blue, Red and Yellow (five colours on Senior). All canopies are UV-stabilised polyethylene, built to resist cracking and fading in full Australian sun, and freight is included to any destination in Australia.
Choosing a size
Most compact and mid-range tractors are well covered by the Junior or Standard size. The canopy should sit flush with or slightly narrower than your tractor's widest point (typically the rear tyres) — an oversized canopy can catch on overhead branches or structures and puts unnecessary lateral load on the ROPS frame. Measure your tractor's width before choosing between Standard and Senior if you're on the borderline.
Understanding Your ROPS Frame
The mounting kit is matched to your ROPS frame shape, not your tractor brand or model — confirming frame type is the single most important step before ordering.
Two-post ROPS
The most common configuration on compact and mid-range tractors. Two vertical or angled uprights, one each side of the operator, usually capped or joined by a horizontal crossbar. Mounts to the top of each post.
Single-post (A-frame) ROPS
A single rear post or A-frame configuration, using a different bracket that spans from the single post or A-frame apex.
Folding ROPS
Common on tractors working under low clearance — orchards, sheds, low-clearance implements. The frame folds forward to reduce height, and the mounting kit must account for the fold mechanism. Confirm this when ordering — a kit built for a fixed ROPS will not suit a folding ROPS without modification.
Cab ROPS
Enclosed cabs have the ROPS integrated into the cab structure. Canopies are for open-station (no cab) or partial-enclosure tractors only.
Mounting Kit Guide
Once you know your canopy size and ROPS frame type, match the kit to your frame's shape, width and leg (post) thickness:
| Kit | Suits | Frame width | Leg thickness | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| B-3580 (Junior) | Hoop-type, curved or square top | up to 760mm | up to 82mm x 51mm | $165 |
| B-3581 (Junior) | Over-width, tilt-adjustable, multi-angle | 760mm+ | 51mm x 51mm to 51mm x 100mm | $125 |
| B-3582 (Junior) | Small 4-post frames | up to 760mm | — | $120 |
| B-3600 (Standard) | Hoop-type, curved or square top | up to 1050mm | up to 82mm x 51mm | $175 |
| B-4620 (Standard) | Hoop-type, large-section legs | up to 1050mm | 100x100, 100x50, 125x50, 150x50mm | $290 |
| B-2565 (Standard) | Over-width | 1050mm+ | 51mm x 51mm to 51mm x 100mm | $150 |
| B-4600 (Standard) | Small 4-post frames | up to 1050mm | — | $150 |
| B-6602 (Senior) | Hoop-type, curved or square top | — | — | $220 |
| B-4621 (Senior) | Hoop-type, large-section legs | — | 100x100, 125x50, 150x50cm | $290 |
| B-6604 (Senior) | Most 4-post frames | — | — | $120 |
| B6603 (Senior) | Bareco F1 & MF1 frames | — | — | $170 |
| B6605 (Senior) | JD3 & IHC6 large frames | — | — | $175 |
B6603 and B6605 are worth calling out specifically: if you're running a Bareco F1 or MF1-style frame, or a JD3/IHC6-style large frame (the frame styles common on John Deere and International Harvester tractors), there's a purpose-built kit rather than a generic fit.
Information to Have Ready When Ordering
- Tractor make, model and year
- ROPS frame shape (two-post hoop, over-width, 4-post, folding, A-frame)
- Frame width — curved/square top span or cross-bar width (measured)
- Leg (post) thickness (measured)
- Any clearance constraints — low-clearance sheds, orchard work
If you have these measurements ready, browse the full canopy and mounting kit range and select your combination directly — or call us on 1300 027 886 and we'll confirm the right combination before you order. It's a simpler process than returning a canopy that doesn't fit.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size tractor canopy do I need?
Junior (860 x 1200mm) suits garden and small compact tractors, Standard (1145 x 1524mm) suits mid-size tractors, and Senior (1525 x 1650mm) suits large farm tractors. Choose a size that sits flush with or slightly narrower than your tractor's widest point.
How do I know which mounting kit I need?
Match your ROPS frame shape (hoop-type, over-width, 4-post or folding), frame width and leg thickness against the mounting kit table above. If you're unsure, measure the frame and call 1300 027 886 — we'll confirm the right kit before you order.
Can I get a tractor canopy to suit a John Deere or International Harvester tractor?
Yes — the B6605 mounting kit is built specifically for JD3 & IHC6-style large ROPS frames, common on John Deere and International Harvester tractors.
Is freight included?
Yes, freight is included to any destination in Australia on the full canopy and mounting kit range.
What colours are available?
White, Green, Orange, Blue, Red and Yellow — five colours on the Senior size.
