Lawn Striping Attachment

[robertm]

I already took some stiff truck bed mat at fastened it to an aluminum angle. Then, bolted it to the drawbar (to go up and down with the deck). It woks a little, but not like a roller. I will try this weekend to lower it a little to really force the grass to lay over and see. I thought it was the height of the cut grass not being long enough, but my neighbor cuts at about 2 inches, and his looks like Wrigley Field. I'm cutting at 3 to 3-1/2 inches to let it fill in, but not alot of striping going on. I am wondering if it is the "field grass" I have.

Which one of those cribs were yours? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Some darn nice digs there!

I wonder if there is a roller for dandilions and clover...I might be better served with that one. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

So 'ya know, I moved my flap to about just three inches above the grass when the 3pt is down, and WOW! I'll post a picture as sson as it stops raining! I really am impressed with how it works. Not as good as a roller, I think, but darn nice for the cost.

RobertM,

Could you also post a pic of the flap and how you mounted it?

Thanks...

I would love to see some pictures of peoples lawn striping equipment . It would be very helpful because I am wanting to put one on my B2910 with 72 inch belly mower.

EDIT:
Hmm... that's odd, as I clicked on it and it worked the day I posted it. So I started poking around and found that the page has changed from a .html extension to a .php extension...

Here's the correct link(at least it was 5 minutes ago...)

Thanks for the heads up, Pineridge. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

MossRoad that link doesn't appear to be a valid one. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Does anyone have any good ideas on a 3 pt device for lawn stripping?

Here is the striping attachment I made... it is in the rough stages as I want to make it a "quick-disconnect" type so I can use my drawbar for other things. I'm working on it now,and will post the QD later. Let me all know what you think.
