Some people don't like stripes; I'm not one of those people. I'd stripe my trees if my mower went vertical.

1. Let's see some of your 🔥 stripes from the season! Winter is knocking and dormancy is coming. 😢

Here was a stripe show I put down two weekends ago....

2. What equipment you using? I'm using a Husqvarna YTH 22V46 with a Big League Lawns striper.

Of course, subscribe if you like what I'm doing. No expert, just a professional tinker.

Thanks!
The Beast and the Magic Maker.
The Beast is old and worn out but still loves to mow. The Magic Maker is crude in design and fabrication but can lay down a stripe.

Your roller is a solid design! You fabricated that well. I'm impressed. That definitely would work.

You fill it with anything? What is are the side caps of the rollers made of? You weld that frame up?

The roller is from some kind of commercial printer. A friend gave it to me. It's has bearings on each end. It's rubber on an aluminum tube. The pvc is just a sleeve I put on to keep the rubber from getting torn up from turning on the concrete. I kind of just slapped it together thinking I would refine it if it worked. It's worked so well I haven't needed to refine it. I had to add some reinforcements at some point but otherwise it's been great.

I need to replace the pinions and wheels on my Toro this winter. Been looking at the getting striping system for it also. How tough it it to maneuver with Toro system? I should look around work and see if i can find some DIY system. We usually have lots of odd machinery and parts being discarded.

Agreed. I tried on my Husqvarna a few versions of a DIY system. But with my hills around my house it was fails. So, I gave in to a Big League Lawn striper. It's worked like a dream! Good luck and share what you do!
