Title: Umbrella
Post by: Bro. Noble on September 22, 2010, 01:05:38 PM
Somewhere I saw a thread about using a seat on a WM.  We have one that we use most of the time.  I was just wondering if anyone ever tried putting an umbrella on one to protect the sawyer from sun and wind?

  I have a seat on for my Mizer, only time I have ever put it on for myself was so I could have the shade from the umbrella. It was the umbrella off of our outdoor dinning set, that was working fine for me, well, till da wife found out  ::)

Here you go.   I also had to replace my worn seat.      https://forestryforum.com/board/index.php/topic,7789.580.html

Very Nice!

Is that a WM umbrella or something you adapted?

That's slick, Magic, but I don't think it would work for me :(

Tractor/equipment umbrella from a farm supply store.  I've replaced the canvas once.  I paint it with Thompson's Waterseal, and get about 4 years out of it.   I just googled tractor umbrella and found a source:
