What makes a mower strip?

[bridges]

So what is it? What makes a mower srtrip? Some strip and some don't.

[skipwatson]

soft music, some wine, sweet nothings whispered in their carburetors...

[dhicks]

Skipwatson: What a hoot. :blush:

[JLC]

SW, that is frickin hilarious...I'm still laughing.

Don't forget to dim the lights.

[skipwatson]

The lights! Don't forget to dim the lights! (heh heh)

[AltaLawnCare]

That was a good one!:blob3:

I think its been covered before, but deck pitch and the suction underneath do more than anything else. I've seen a bigger difference running doubles than with a "striping kit".

That is if you meant to type stripe, not ....strip.

[Randy Scott]

Oh yeah, the suction underneath is what ties it all together!

[mowerconsultant]

I cant get mowers to "strip" for me unless I put a 20 dollar bill under the deck (garter) belt :D

[Just Turned Pro]

It all comes down to cash....

For most mowers it is all that they know how to do. They start out stripping to pay their way through college, but tragically, it seems that most of them get addicted to drugs and the fancy lifestyle. It spirals downward in a vicious cycle from there....:D

[Randy Scott]

O.k, we let him have it pretty good. Do a search on "striping" and you will find enough info. to read until next week.

[crazygator]

And remember, most begin to strip because they were abused when younger, and feel this brings them attention. I dont ever need to see a "scag" strip.....sick man, just sick! A Hustler yeah, or even the spanish mower Toro, but no "Scag".

[rdh]

i hope you dont have a 21"lawnboy. lol

The thought of an ex "Mark" is what really turns MY stomach!

[Eric ELM]

I'll try and get this back on subject. I wrote an article on stripes on my website that might help you out, pictures included. ;)

[skipwatson]

This post has degenerated into a scag-strippin' 21" lawnboy chasin' down a dixie snapper who turns out to be a hustler on the run from her ex, Mark, a former yardman, who, for an encore speaks with a Spanish accent and says "Les co to de bullfights and shout 'Toro!'"

[rdh]

a few more days and this post will be better than the lubed trailer ball post.

[GreenQuest Lawn]

thats the best laugh I have had in weeks.

Thanks

PS I do not want to know if a Craps-man will strip either.

The Life Story of the Srippin Mower, Dixie

That cute little COUNTRY CLIPPER, DIXIE got the KEES to her old HONDA, and told her brother, DIXON “I’m tired of the SIMPLICITY of the country, I’m movin to the city.”

Upon her arrival, she found out she could not afFORD to live here without a lot of money. Wouldn’t you know that’s when she met that SCAG, ALLIS(Alice) CHALMERS, who taught her how to MTD (mack the daddy) outta money. “It’s as easy as a SNAPPER of your fingers”, she told Dixie. “In no time you’ll be taking trips to places like NOMA and NEW HOLLAND.” So, ALLIS started teaching DIXIE some moves….the EZ ROLL, and the TORO, just to name a few. Soon they were a good act, doing an ENCORE with their BOBCAT, ARIEN.

In the meantime, DIXIE met the LAWN BOY next door, John. He was okay with her stripping until he found out she developed a habit like a GIANT VAC, and then he caught her in the WOODS with MURRAY JACOBSEN, who had her bent over a CUSHMAN going at it like a couple of GREAT DANES. It is with LITTLE WONDER why she got 2 BLACK eyes from when he DECKedER. “JOHN DEERE, I’m so sorry,” she said as her voice ECHOed behind him.

She tried calling her EX MARK, but his wife DYNA MARK, said he has recently become a CUB CADET and was out on a big CASE. So, no help there….

GRAVELY, the story ends, with DIXIE married to a CRAFTSMAN names FERRIS BUNTON, who looks like a BILLY GOAT and owns a GRASSHOPPER farm in the, you guessed it, in the country. Right back where she started. Whenever FERRIS notices DIXIE thinking about her past, he gives her a big hug and says “LES CO for a walk in the WOODS, and everything will be alWRIGHT”. Then YAZOO, the past becomes present and the CUSHMAN is being used once again…:D

[skipwatson]

I'm sorry, too, Bridges. I couldn't resist. So many people in the posts write 'strip' instead of 'stripe.' But there's tons and tons of info on striping in the threads. And Eric ELM's site is the definitive place to go. Good luck! :cool:

[crazygator]

Bridges,
Seriously EricELM has wonderful and helpful info. Also I just saw some info about striping in Landscape Management Mag. Go to http://www.simplicitymfg.com and click on lawn striping. This guy has a book you might want to get, just to help. Also you have to check out the little movie they have. All I say to that is YEAH RIGHT!
And TruGreenDedLawn are you really in Beverly Hills? How much do you charge to mow out there? And do you ever find the need to have a yellow wiffle bat for protection?

[TruGreenDedLawn]

Yes Mr. Gator

I am from Beverly Hills Ca.

And I do carry a Yellow wiffle ball bat to keep guys like you away from me
