Does anyone know, where I should go to, or where to order a really good set of Heavy Duty Machine Tarps from? I was thinking of maybe (2) 30x30 Tarps, but really good ones that will last. Not like the thin ones you find at Tractor Supply. Any suggestions?

Big Phil, I buy my tarps @ Mytee products in ohio..
a 30 x 30 will cost you round $200 plus shipping..Very reasonable AND durable..I still have lumber tarps I bought from them back in 2008..my steel tarps are used every week and are 3 years old..(of course you must protect them correctly and tie then done right)Big Phil Thanks this. -

Ive bought alot from their Perrysburg OH store, a 30x30 would probably be a custom tarp, I do know they will sew you up any tarp configuration you want.
OP- have you looked back thru the classifieds on here?Big Phil Thanks this. -
Machinery has a lot of sharp points, no matter what tarps you use you need to pad the sharp points,, Majority of tarps use 18oz/yard material , I used 9oz tarps for years with no problems , I always padded with furniture pads or used carpet , Best place to buy tarps is a tarp company Tri City Canvas in Granite City , Il
Granite City Canvas,3240 W Chain Of Rocks Rd, #A, Granite City, IL 62040
I suggest you get a few smaller tarps,,many loads you will not need large tarps and when you do you can use 3-4 tarps,,smaller tarps are much easier to handle and easier to tie them down so you do not get a lot if flapping,, I would get 2 20x30, 2 20x20 and a couple of 20x16 all made with 9oz material. also get padding, I used to carry 30 furniture pads, and 6 4x4 pices of used carpet. Again you will need padding no matter what kind of tarps you use,Big Phil Thanks this. -
Yes a lot of padding and a lot of bungees . But beware that some 30' X 30 ' can weight up to 140 lb ! a couple of 24 ' X 30 ' might be a better deal unless you always tarp the same thing and 1 big one does it.
Big Phil Thanks this.
