My Homemade Striper!!!
Here is my striper that I made for my Z-trak. Cost $0.00, just used some stuff I already had and a little time. Tell me what you think.

looks good, but is that rubber or metal? if it's metal then it could tear the lawn.

Man, it sure looks like it would work to me! Nice job. It sure beats paying a few hundre dollars for something that does the same thing. I WOULD be inclined to think that maybe it would need a little more flap dragging, though. One hard stroke that thin doesn't seem like it would do much. The lomger the grass is stroked, the more effect it has. Hence, the larger (wider diameter) a roller is, the more it does. Chains, the same way. Chains REALLY do it - as long as they are mounted dense enough. You have to have a bunch of them close together. I've seen some that were just too thin - spaced out too thin.
Anyway, I hope this works for you! If t doesn't, cut a longer flap. If it rolls and folds under,...so what.

One piece of 1 inch angle iron and a 6 inch piece of truck mudflap bolted to it. This is what the stripes look like!

it needs to be a bit lower on the grass.

I set the rubber flap so that it is just above the ground. Does not get caught under the tires and does not tear the grass when backing or turning the machine. Thanks for the replies so far. It is a lot cheaper than the $300. one the dealer wanted to sell me and it seems to work just fine.
