What a great thread.

Lawn striping is the goal for me. And unlike most of my neighbors, I do not cut to the root. Some people mow way too short, especially in the heat and drought of summer. I had a striping attachment when I had a Yardman Lawn Tractor. I only have walk behinds now but I still like the striping and the criss cross striping that forms diamonds like you see at major league baseball parks. As a lawn guy, I always notice the striping when I go to a ballgame or see one in High Def on TV and I always look at the great manicure the groundskeepers give the turf.

To me striping is fun and the fastest way to cut a lawn.

I thought only the assclowns around here cut down to the root and leave rows of clippings.

No, Carscw, there are many areas of the country (especially suburbia) where you see so many people with mowers on the lowest cut height setting just scalping the daylights out of healthy grass. I used to travel for a living and I've seen scalped lawns from Maine to California. Makes me sick when I see it. My neighbors on either side of one of my homes (in Suburbia but pretty far out of the city with 3/4 acre lots) cuts to the root on every mow spring-fall. One guy has his John Deer Rider out every other day mowing the living daylights out of his poor lawn cutting right down to the root. Then he complains how he has so much Crabgrass. No kidding. You are weakening your healthy grass and allowing room for weeds to flourish. I've tried to tell him to raise that height about an inch and a half but he says short grass looks better. OK, well, it's his lawn. I just have to spray Crabgrass killer from time to time when his Crabgrass starts creeping into my lawn.

Anyway, Great thread. I rarely read every single post in long threads, but I did in this thread.

here's that same house from last week but just because I cut it with my new scag walk behind this. I'm still dialing it in but it cuts really well
