We had one on the FarmPro 2420 that was a chinese made version. They are all pretty much the same and the key is the mountings to the roll bar. I do have to say it was nice sitting under that thing on 90 temp days and the sun wouldn't be beating on you as you mowed the field around our farm. You do have to watch for low hanging branches and need to trim them back along the sides of the fields to ensure not getting snared in anything enough to break the fiberglass they are made out of.

For the DIYer, it's inexpensive to make one yourself from a durable UV protected plastic of a dumpster lid cover. Some on Amazon go for a mere $35.
You can't tell the difference.
Why bring this up? Cause the Rinohid canopy is exactly that, a dumpster lid !
RhinoHide Tractor Canopy- Removeable Tractor Canopy-Ask Tractor Mike
The RhinoHide tractor canopy, a removeable tractor ROPS canopy, is light & flexible like a tractor umbrella or sunshade, but made from HDPE.

So, don't laugh, many people have dumpster lids on their ROPS.
Its a smart option to do. These dumpster lids can take a beating like no other canopy can. Usually they just spring back into shape. Can't do that with the fiberglass canopies, those just break when hitting a limb or low clearance item.

Just have to wash it well first to get the garbage stink off... Go snitch one from a local dumpster, they are held on with pins. Never miss it.

I pay $55 a month for my local dumpster, I'm not vandalizing it.
[EDIT]: Hey, how do you snitch on a dumpster?!
