Due to popular customer request, we are extending our sale price of 160.00 plus shipping on the TCA-0230 striping attachment. We are placing some on ebay for convenient purchase, or contact us. We are also offering for auction at ebay a custom built, non-production striping attachment. Only 2 of these were ever built. One is in use and this is the last one. I will post pics 2 boxes down .
The ebay link for the TCA-0230 is:

TCA-0230 mounted to a Gravely in Michigan. Unit is adjustable, so much less chain need drag behind the mower.

This is a pic of the custom built unit we are selling at auction. Unit has never been used. Roller is constructed of solid UHMW. Attachment is fully adjustable, and very heavy duty. The blue connection is a special rubber torsion suspension system, which allows the roller to absorb shock from all directions. The ebay link for this item is:

JD how easy is it to load/unload from a trailer and what i'm refurring to is the kit on the Gravely? would'nt you have to keep moving it up and down every time?

Thanks

 

[J D CRUSTA]

lazer z: The owner of the Gravely actually has the attachment as low as can go, which is unnecesary. (He has since raised it, and tells me his results are still good) So in actual use the bottom bar is higher off of the ground than pictured. So to answer your question, there is no interference when loading/unloading from a trailer. The chain bar is ordinarily up and close to your mower frame, so it doesn't scrape. The rollers make it impossible for the attachment to get stuck in expanded metal or the expansion joints of your trailer decking.

How do you attach a velke behind that roller?

 

[BSDeality]

the hell with the velky, i want to know how you walk behind that thing? i'd be tripping over it all the time.... unless! oh yes! i could wear roller blades and stand on the roller and just skate around on it like it was a giant velke!!

 

[J D CRUSTA]

LGF, you don't.
BSDeality, it actually doesn't stick out as far as it looks in the second pic (about 6")
In any event, that roller attachment is one of two units that was built by us for a custom job. It's not meant for everybody. I'm putting it out there in case someone has an application for it.

 

[pinnacle]

J D : what would that application be??

 

[J D CRUSTA]

pinnacle: since there is only one and we do not produce them I don't care what it is used for. I will leave this up to your imagination.

 

[pinnacle]

J D: do you think that unit would be better on Rough or bumpy lawn cause of the rubber elstimer??

Have you guys ever had a chain striper for a 21'' before??

 

[TRex]

BSD I think your on to some thing with the roller and roller blades. I would like to see someone else try it first though. I always use to be the one to try it first, but not anymore. haha

 

[J D CRUSTA]

pinnacle: You might be interested in this pic since you ask about the elastomer. This is a small (and dirty) version of what is on the big roller. Each square embedded in rubber oscillates plus or minus 30 degrees, producing up to 63 ft lbs of torque. So the roller end itself can apply significant downward pressure while bending upwards up to a combined 60 degrees. Provides damping function as well as absorbing significant radial, axial, and cardanic forces. The answer to your question would be yes, as far as durability of rollers which provide ground pressure without the use of physical weight.
We don't build chain stripers for 21" mowers because of the impracticality of it. Mounting and usefullness being some of the issues.

 

[pinnacle]

J D : Thanks mate. I've gotta say you are doing a Dam fine job there at Turflex I hav'nt used the unit but can just tell you guys have INTEGRITY and I love to see that in any feild. I wish I could see more of it................Good on ya Jared

 

[pinnacle]

BTW: I'll be purchasing soon

 

[J D CRUSTA]

Thanks. We worked up a shipping quote for an Australian customer a few weeks ago. Transit time to Australia is about the same as it is to ship to New York. Not quite the same price, though.
