In Search of Quality Cover for 314-8

Recommended Posts

0rnery

No doubt you all keep your prized tractors garaged, but I've run out of garage space.  Where can I get a quality, custom cover worthy of my hard working 314-8 tractor with 42" deck?  Of course there are plenty of general purpose covers available on Amazon, but thought I better check here first, so I don't miss out on a better option.

 

Thanks Much, John

You might go to coverstore.com and take a look at their products.

I have a cover for my Karubecue C-60.  I have had it for years and still protects the smoker.

Thanks for the ultra prompt reply, Rick.  Great site, which I'll keep in my back pocket.  Unfortunately, all their mower covers seem to be for Zero Turns.  Funny thing is, I already have one that is twice as big as the 314-8 and says, Toro on the front.  

 

Last year I ordered a "Toro Wheel Horse Removable Receiver Hitch (with mounting hardware)" from wheelhorsepartsandmore .  It worked beautifully and I was just hoping somebody was also making Wheel Horse covers of that same quality.

 

Edit:  Hold on.  Bing got me to a link on their site:  https://www.coverstore.com/products/outdoor-tractor-cover-elite-black?variant=51736129077615  I'll keep poking around and see what we can do.  Thanks again!

I picked one up at the WHCC show last summer for $50. It hasn't ripped yet, but it is no longer red. In less than 8 months it has faded where the sun hits it. Picture below shows original color and faded area.

Woah Bob, that's what I had in mind.  I now have a Classic Accessories "82"L x 50"W x 47"H cover in my Amazon cart for $70 and the Outdoor Tractor Cover Elite Black in my Cover Store basket for $96 shipped.  I've heard they all fade if directly in the sun, so I'm looking for a shady spot to park it.  Any idea who might sell the one you have?

I buy large BBQ/Grill covers from Lowes & Homme Depot at the end of the season when they have them on clearance.

Awesome Jim.  I'd be happy to modify the Zero Turn cover it's using now, but that's a little too much work.  Not happy about having to cough up close to $100, but I'd hate to try and go into seamstress mode even more!

Works for welders also. Bought one for a welder off of the jungle site for like 12 bucks and was pleasantly surprised at how heavy/thick it was but it doesnt spend anytime in the sun and I'm sure it would probably fade also.

Contact Jason @whtractors24

He had some originals and some repops of those covers.

Thanks so much John.  I sent message.  Fingers crossed.  I see he hasn't logged in since March 2nd, so not sure if message will make it to him anytime soon.  No hurry anyway.  Thanks again!
