Re: Recommendations on accessories
I got a flier for a polycarbonate one that sells for $335. </P>
I wish someone could make a single piece plastic version, I don't like when there is a joint between two pieces right in the middle. </P>

I believe the one from Essex is a solid full sheet that bends with the ROPS. Here's their link:</P>

Polycarbonate requires an extensive process of drying and stuff to bend it. This may raise the cost beyond what most would want to pay.</P>

I don't have any experience with the Essex windshield but it is listed as being plastic. Personally, I would not use a plastic material for a windshield. It's too suseptable to scratches, yellowing... Even with polycarbonate (Lexan), you really need the version that is coated with "mar-guard" to prevent scratching. The mar-guard version ov Lexan is significantly more expensive then the material without it.</P>

Re: Recommendations on accessories
Thats kinda my thoughts too on the aftermarket plastic stuff. The Kubota windshield is expensive, no doubt about it... but over the years the $200-300 cost savings is not going to be worth the scratches and yellowing. </P>

Re: Recommendations on accessories
I too thought the Kubota OEM was a bit pricy so I made my own out of 3/16" Lexan (with mar-guard of course). The lexan (cut to size and shipped) was $150. All the hardware to mount and finish was probably another $40-50 so I was able to make my own for a little under $200. Might not be as pretty but works very well and I can quickly make it a split windshield (let some air in) or remove altogether in minutes.
