John Deere ZTrak Z300 Series Sun Canopy - LP66974

First, Walmart did not say that the sun-shade does not fit the 2025 Z300 series, only the 2024. I have a 2025. My husband and a friend though they could attach it with 2000 lb test zip ties, and they did, but it still provides no shade unless you mow only when the sun is directly overhead; you never turn, and the sun doesn't move. It might be a little better if you are 6'3" or taller. I'm 5'3". You also have to be pretty strong to put the top part on the base or remove it. It's supposed to be removable for mowing under trees. The poles have snap-in balls like on vacuum cleaner metal tubes, where the ball snaps in a hole. Even my husband couldn't push the ball out of the hole by hand. He used a flat piece of metal. Then the canopy is heavy and unwieldy. This is a totally useless piece of equipment. I'm very disappointed in John Deere for making it and Walmart for not saying specifically which mowers it fits.
