Awesome stuff. I have just made this last night and a couple of things: 1. I put my roller length to the centre line of the wheels after originally NOT listening to this video recommendation and put the pipe longer than the wheels. The result was an awful lawn stripe as there was a cancellation effect from the return pass as the pipe had already half folded the grass. Had to take it all apart, cut the pipe and reassemble everything. 2. Add a 40mm x 4mm thick flat bar to the the return bracket that receives the eye bolts from the roller to stiffen it up. Cut the grass with it on last night and it works great. Far better than other rollers out there that use carabenas to hook in to the mower meaning you can't reverse.

My lawn "striper" is simply to cut my lawn 10am. Early enough to still be moist but dry enough to not clump mulching. The stripes looks pass my teenage daughter's approval. "Dad, you got better." Someday, I will make a proper striper, someday. 😆

I just made a lawn striper for my tractor Using the frame of a spiked aerator That I haven’t used in forever. I replaced the spikes with 3 inch PVC , utilized the shaft from the aerator and will be filling the pipe with pea gravel. I’ll be trying it out for the first time this weekend

@@TheLawnDaddy I agree, best DIY design. Quick question, can you still attach the rear bag with the roller on? I’m looking to do this but I need to pick up the grass clippings. Thanks in advance 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

@TheLawnDaddy 2 жыл бұрын

Thx, glad you like the design. To answer your question, yes you can attach the bag and use the roller. Instead of bagging, have you considered side discharging? It's better for your lawn especially if you have fertilized...if your grass is long you can always double cut to avoid long clippings sitting on top and dying off.

@zjedinite 2 жыл бұрын

@@TheLawnDaddy cool man! Thanks for the reply. On my property I mulch it but I do a few neighbors and they want it bagged. So hopefully once I got one made and gonna stripe a few of them to Surprise them to see what they say. I was considering just rolling the grass after it was cut WITHOUT the lawnmower to be able to make them easier as something it’s awkward to cut straight lines when they the lawn curves and retaining walls everywhere 🤦🏻‍♂️ I guess in principal it SHOULD work, have you ever tried that? Just the roller by itself. 🤔

Just finished making mine. While every mower may be different my changes were as follows. >10" L bracket (all items from hd) >Same ideas for opening holes, note that the top hole and the first or closest to the L were what needed to be opened up. >noted for my 22" toro I ended up not using the frame I opted for use of the two large bolts on the handle. I work on these tools at work. So cost of replacement bolts and the large nuts are about 10 bucks tops if it messes up in use. > the brackets take some getting use to. However the results were def a win. > I also note that in my case I had to modify my pipe itself to 22 inches or so as the end caps added to a point I could attach my steel pipe endcaps. In construction of project my pipe threads got messed up. By trip three to home depot because I messed up and grabbed 3" end caps and the pipe thread being messed up i only paid once for my steel pipe. But all worked out. I had to cut the pvc to 22 inches as the end caps add a little more length to overall construction. End all beat all though it works well. I can see the stripes even at night so I can't wait to see what it looks like tomorrow morning in the sun.

Hello Lawn Daddy, I have been stripping my lawn for years 30 or more, I always had toro lawn mower and the flap in the back, like yours I put on a heavy pipe at the bottom, work great and lasted until toro came out with the stripper attachment, so that was pretty much free, the pipe was just lying around in the garage, always gave me that extra edge, my first time saying it, now my secret is out.

Love this idea nice work. I have the same old model toro recycler like you have. If you find your rear wheel plastic cogs are stripped, look to find a aftermarket all metal to metal mesh cog and pinon gear. Made my hand me down mower drive the new. I also wanted to ask how is this having to pivot? 50% of my mowing requires to pivot off a wall and it's annoying... Wondering how this modification would handle the abuse and if it would get in the way. Cheers from the Chicago suburbs.

@TheLawnDaddy 4 жыл бұрын

Pivoting is ok, standard turning around is smooth but up against landscaping bricks is less smooth...striper works great though, I actually took the flap right off and used the flap holes and bolted L brackets right to the frame...much stronger now.
