Feeding the addiction... I bought a checkmate lawn striper but, haven't tested it. I'm looking forward to playing around with this thing.

Congrats! :thumbup:

I'm jealous. I can't wait to get my lawn looking like yours. I'm going to start on mine this fall. Let me know how you like it.

I've already told my wife if Santa (her parents and brother) want to get me something useful for Christmas I will gladly give her the web address and part number for one of those. My Time Master just looks so naked without one of those behind it.

Very nice! A buddy of mine got one and swears it is the best $100 he spent on his lawn.

I build a roller with the same type of boat rollers behind a scab turf tiger back in maryland. 2" cut height.on tall fescue.

Holy moly that is awesome.

I have one of the original checkmates and I love it. Great option for the mower. Only downfall is it can be heavy when trying to maneuver or if you don't want to stripe. Wish it came off quick if you didn't want it on

@Anthony Drexler looks like you've got new toys to play with! And your mower's wheels sure look like they've been around the lawn a few times. You ought to rotate your lawn mower's wheels to get more use out of the effective tread. @GrassDaddy did a video on this subject. :thumbup: Usually a good idea to do it once a season, after oil changes and if it's too bumpy, or you get some vibration at high speed, look at balancing them too.

 

[Anthony Drexler]

@Colonel K0rn Thanks good idea...

 

[Anthony Drexler]

I tested the checkmate today. The sun isn't perfect, and I obviously need some practice but, this thing is awesome!

 

[SNOWBOB11]

Looks good. :thumbup:

I've had mine for about 4 years. I absolutely love it. I also wish it had a quick disconnect feature for easy on and off. But that's my only complaint.

You can't argue the stripes it lays down.

Wow i need to grab one of these for the fescue!

 

[IaHawk]

Does it require any modification for the HRR model?

 

[Anthony Drexler]

@IaHawk Yes, you have to drill the wheel height adjustment brackets.

Could you use something like a short bolt with a hole drilled through it and a cotter pin? Or would that allow it to move around too much?

FWIW, I used a clevis pin/cotter pin combo with the striper on my tractor and it worked very well.
