Striping! Gotta love it!!

[djdicetn]

Today using demo bobcat Procat.

I picked up on your post about the Bobcat where the deck pitch was "level" instead of the normal front-lower pitch and when I installed the Gravely mulch kit on my Pro-Turn 152 I also changed it to a "level pitch". I posted some pics earlier where it gave a "mild striping effect"(still not as pronounced as the pictures of your demo Bobcat). Well, I sprung for the Gravely Hex Striper kit this past weekend and the dealer should get it in by the end of this week. He told me the long-range forecast for Middle TN doesn't show any consistent "below 40 degree" nights until the first week of December. He had a commercial customer come in last week and bought 3 brand new Gravely's(at this time of the year the dealer said that was extremely rare). I think I will have plenty of opportunity to post some pics after installing my striper kit and hopefully they will rival some of the better striping pics in this thread. My dealer has really been good about taking care of me(sold me the mulch kit at the 2012 price..about $35 off and sold me the hex striper kit for $199...regular price $238). I am anxious to get it installed and try it out!!!!!

Here is a picture of my homemade lawn striper. I used 5 inch wobble rollers Taft are used on boat trailers. For the frame I used electrical channel bracket. I have it mounted to the mower using clevis pins. That way it can be removable and gives some play when going up and down hills and bumps. The mower left ok stripes, now with this they are more definitive and vibrant.

Hi, I write for Farm Show magazine and would liked to interview you for an article about your homemade lawn striper. Please email me at dee_goerge@yahoo.com

Not sure I can stripe this one.
Had to cut a path just to walk around to give a bid.

Carscw: Yeah that's a bit hard to stripe!

Bmcnamara417: Nice! We would love to see a picture of your striping "roller". :thumbsup:

Looks like an administrator finally fixed this thread. I sent several messages that it seemd to be "stuck" on Post#160 at the bottom of Page#16 and subsequent posts after #160 weren't showing up. I think that happened on about 10/9/13 when I noticed that my "picked up on the post about the Bobcat" post wasn't showing up. Hey..after 43+ years in IT, I can tell you for certain ALL software(even forum software) gets a little "bug" from time to time. I've been wrestling with a hosed up Internet Explorer 10 in Windows 7 running on my iMac at home for two weeks and FINALLY got the Google Chrome browser to install(I E Explorer wouldn't go to the install links on Google, Firefox, etc. websites). Google Chrome works like a charm(and is now my default browser:0), but I don't recommend I E Explorer 10 "AT ALL"!!!! The further I get from Microsoft as I slowly adapt to the new world of Apple/Mac O/S the better I like it!!!

To tell you the truth I think it will happen again when the posts go onto the next page. I couldn't view the new posts, but since I really wanted to I went to Thread Tools at the top of the page and then went to Show Printable Version. That way was more boring, and I had to click on the attachment "links" to view the pictures, but at least I saw them. After I replied THEN you could see that page so I think once there are a certain number of posts on the page you can see it again. But it only happens on a few threads! :confused2: But only after that day the forum was down! :frown:

There was frost on the ground here this morning (and will be tonight). Right now it's 48 and windy. :thumbdown:
