TORO Striping Kit, only $62 ???

[GlenPettit 1,716]

I wonder if this could modified or if we can make our own "blade bender" out of baler-belting to do the same.  Reviews-ratings help a lot, but are 'all-extreems'.  I'm thinking about just pulling a small roller behind the tractor to do this, sounds like it works much better on shorter cuts.

Glen;

I think you are on the right track, a piece of belting or mudflap cut to sit below the blade height or some kind of roller or even better a segmented roller maybe PVC pipe over a piece of black pipe mounted on the back of the deck

There is always these ... though It's more expensive.  Perhaps it'd be fairly easy to copy, it looks simple. They have Video's on YouTube

I have used a home-made flap on my ZTR Exmark for 10+ years... I used a piece of light conveyer belt-like material.  Works well!

I made a frame out of some scrap metal that attaches and lifts with the slot hitch that drags a section of wooden 2x4, I can lay a stripe in my yard as good as a golf course!
