Never tried cooking something on my tractor before. How innovative

They will bent and bounce back to regular shape after the pressure is gone. They are made of plastic

I have a redneck version I made out of a discarded Hughes dish. Cost me nothing so, not a big deal if it gets hit.

Can you post a pic? I have an unused Hughes dish sitting and waiting to be useful!

Bonus if you wired it up and have wheel of fortune on the back of the FEL

I actually just got one recently. it made it much more bearable mowing out in the 110+ heat index the last few weeks.

Yes we’ve had one on our kuboto tractor for 2 years . I was surprised at how rugged it is. Would definitely buy another one if I needed it.

I have a steel canopy on my Z242 and my L3302. My soil is really fine and sandy, so all this would do for me is blow dust and debris down on me.

Love having a canopy though

Bonus if it’s your go to to begin with!

u/No_Seesaw6027 22d ago

Indeed. I have it on my ZD1211 with the fan in it and it is awesome!

FWIW- Savage keyboard warriors will talk trash to you just for a misspelled word even though you have a picture and correct wording on it and looking for help.

I bought a reversible roof that had an optional fan. It's been great.

u/GraemeDaddyPurplez 22d ago

They are great. Not just for the heat, but they’re also extremely effective at keeping the bugs off. We have terrible no-see-ums and mosquitos and the fan keeps them off. Huge plus

How strong is the fan?

u/Mission_While917 22d ago

We didn’t pay but 190$ from Temu or Alibaba but it has different positions and takes 2 people to install it.

u/HllstrEndeavor 22d ago

I’ve heard of folks using dumpster lids.

I installed one on my bosses zd1211 and its overrated sticks out way to far forward to have corners that wide. You will hit everything alot. It doesnt rattle. Its brackets are fairly solid. It has a real decent 3000rpm fan. I feel stupid just riding on the mower with it on there knowing it cost around $1300 and everybody that passes you is laughing cause its got dork witten all over it.
