- Use a striping kit to create awesome lawn stripes. In this video I'll be installing the Toro lawn striping kit on a Toro lawn mower.

Looks good. Always best when the sun at your back.
This video was super helpful! I'm a newbie and I appreciate all you share... Thanks for making the time to do this!
Thank you for showing how to put the striper together it was very easy the way you demonstrated it
Good to hear you will be adjusting the watering.
Missed your videos glad your making videos still keep it up👍
Thanks for giving the Toro a second try. I’d like to avoid removing the flap in the rear and also drilling holes in my mower. With the DIY and Checkmate, that was not possible. I was glad to see the Toro worked out for you better this time.
Heat stress is a pain, I’m dealing with it myself, it’s definitely looking better but next week is looking like another heat wave 🙄. Good video! 👍🏼
Thanks so much so posting this! Getting ready for maiden mowing with this attachment!🏡
Hey man. You're an inspiration. I recently planted a new lawn (almost 3 weeks now) can I over this fall? Should I fertilize after the 3 weeks?
Thumbs up for the music in the background 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Much love,
Billy
I did this too, but i used a wrecked sheet pan and not a nice cast iron dutch oven!
I remember when you did the seeding and used those seed blankets and when you had the 1 year old cake with your kids for the grass that was a while back and must say your lawn has made alot of improvements throughout the years. Are you still using the swardman in the back?
Thank you for that teaching procedure. Because I just ordered one of them. My problem is this where did you get your sand I do not have an outside stove to put my sand in. I do have a kitchen stove but I don’t think that’s recommended. I also have a beach where I can get sand that.
🤣😂🤣 when you turned your sprinklers on, I wondered if you did finish mowing first..
I have the same Toro. I've been thinking of buying that striping kit of theirs. I was also thinking of somehow just rigging something up on those two small wheels. Wasn't sure what they were there for til you said something about the checkmate kit..
I’m guilty of striping the plastic on my HRX too. Glad it wasn’t just me curing Honda for having a larger tube.
Nice vid Tim. I know I sound like a broken record but great to see you back in action. Believe it or not you were the first lawn youtuber I subscribed to which now turned into -- um , not counting them all but it's a lot. Thanks for inspiring me to getting where I am currently in the lawn to date. . 👍🏻 Great video
Sorry to be so offtopic but does any of you know of a tool to log back into an instagram account?
I somehow lost the password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me.
@Chandler Khalid instablaster ;)
@Declan David I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im in the hacking process now.
I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Declan David it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my ass !
@Chandler Khalid happy to help :)
Looking good bud
Try mowing two lines wide next time so the stripes are more visible. I saw Lawn Care Nut do that, and the wider stripes definitely stand out more. I think that should help :)
can you explain how to do that please i kind of understand but not entirely
@@vxtrul1493 Mow two stripes side by side in the same direction, then adjacent to those 2 will be 2 stripes mowed in the opposite direction. And repeat :)
@@bbtank3000 thanks man
Honey, kids....sands done, let's eat!! lol
Thanks 🤠
I'm so glad it wasn't my issue alone with the Honda hrx handles. I feel making this a universal kit is a big misstep as far as engineering goes. I understand why they did it but man is it cumbersome. Attaching and unattaching the roller is an enormous pain in the butt. I tried to come up with some sort of carabiner set up that would work but due to the 'length' factor of how far the roller would need to be behind the mower, you'd end up tripping yourself up if you did something like that I believe. If someone has come up with a better plan let me know. I'll likely go with a Checkmate next year.
My question is to you where did you go and get your sand at? Because I have a beach and I could just go get sand there my problem is I do not have a stove outside to dry out my sand and I do not think it’s a good idea to put it in my kitchen oven to dry out my sand.
Any fertilizer vids coming soon?
how long do u cook the sand for
I bet your wife wasn't happy you used a cast iron pan to cook the sand...😂
Great video Tim👍🏻
And now you have stripes. Easy pizzy. Stripes make the lawn look better.
I'm not sure it is worth all the work, but I do like the music on the site!
Sand mix or sand box sand??
Good "show me" video. I wish Bermuda held a stripe.
Just started watching your videos. What part of the country are you in? Is your lawn KBG?
Rhode Island and pure KBG
So pretty easy to quick release for removal?
Yeah it's tricky at first but when you figure out the angle it takes no time to do
Was cooking the sand to evaporate the moisture out of it?
Yes
Do you have a preference between the checkmate or Toro striping kit? I had the checkmate and found it terribly difficult to maneuver. I mean its very well built, but just made my mower feel heavier. Great content 👍🏻. Keep up the good work!
I don't have a basis for comparison but this kit feels HEAVY as heck on my HRX. Even being self propelled it makes the mower significantly harder to turn. With the way it is set up it allows the roller to pivot up and down and side to side which in theory is real nice, but if you're along an edge, say with a curb, the roller wants to fall down into the gutter, or off onto the curb. I was curious how the checkmate felt so thanks for your feelings there. Is it hard to back up/turn with it?
What kind of sand did you use?
play sand which I learned is washed which is why it was so hard to get in wet!
How you compare the Toro with the Honda?
Both have been excellent. The Toro is definitely quieter.
If you bag clippings in lawn bags, the honda is a hassle and not gonna fit. The Honda is also much more bulkier than Toro. If I had to do it over again, the Toro with Honda engine 190 cc would get my vote. SUPER Recycler... flat black... with bag.
What do you like and dislike about the TORO SUPER RECYCLER??????
Do you think it's worth it? If you have a small yard 5000sq????
Yeah it works pretty good. I prefer the checkmate because it's more durable but they all weigh the same and the look really makes your lawn pop.
Had to laugh there near the end of putting the sand in with the scoop, then just picks the bowl up anyway
Kitty litter would probably work really well
You should hand thread the bolt first before zapping it with a power tool. Keep from stripping out another one.
I'd suggest a drill instead of impact too... that would give you a clutch 👍
Cut your Grass lower never taking off more then 1/3 tho. Id get your lawn down more to the 2-21/4” range
Haha I cant see any stripes lol maybe gotta cut the grass taller so it really folds over
HOLD UP! Are you wearing lobster print pants? Where did you get those, @jordanpeterson website?
OldNavy 🤣
Just purchase silica sand at Home depot, its like $5.00 for a 50lb bag and you keep the wife happy lol...
yea that last part was a bitch so i just turned the mower sideways and undid the bolt to hang the roller
haha wow that would have been smart I didn't think of that
Maybe needs to be heavier
Sand pie yummy u should of added more salt or made a pizza
Please just use a hand screwdriver when putting screws into plastic to prevent stripping out the holes. Never use power tools.
lol don't worry about it hon, I'm doing man stuff.
Just a friendly recommendation, watching the entire process of you scooping sand out of a bucket and pouring it into the roller was as about as entertaining as watching paint dry. Either speed up the footage while editing or show a few seconds of doing that then move on to the next step.
zzzz
Save your money ! Get the BIG LEAGUE LAWNS ROLLER . I have had both of them .
The TORO stripper SUCKS ! You can't back up and it flops all over . It fell apart after about 2 years .
Why didn't you just put it in your wife's turkey roaster at 350 for two hours?
Did I really just watch 2 1/2 minutes of someone filling a plastic tube with sand a cup at a time?
You should watch the video of me mixing grass seed with a shovel next 🤣
Yout lawn looks terrible dude? Like what happened to it ? Time to check in with the lawn care nut.
Okay
Damn man, have you heard of heat stress? I know in central Kansas we've been 95+ with 25mph winds daily, that'll zap any grass. Cut Daddy some slack.
