The stripes look great! I found that Bahai makes the best stripes her in Fl. But the St. Augustine will also stripe if your consistent. I don't have a roller but my Jungle Wheels wosk great for striping.

They look great to me. How much did that roller cost to make?

Chad-
what kind of mower is that on and where'd you get the roller for $5? Mine was almost $30 after shipping!

I think that first picture looks great! I wish you had taken another of that site, just a bit farther to the right where the stripes are longer.

BTW, what kind of mower is that?

I got the roller from a local fab place..They have alot of different sizes laying around from people who ordered them, but they were to small or too long..Its a Id say a first generation Kees ZTR 52"cut
very similar to a eXmark or a Toro as far as the design..

I was on my way back from my Tortoise Island account. That was the one and only time I've ever been to that 7-11 all my M.I. accounts are in the Savannahs and Sykes Cove. Saw you once pulling into Cub Cadet as I was leaving, you had a red Chevy quad cab and a green trailer.

Interesting. So yours is one of those that had the black deck from the factory? Just the picture of the deck threw me off because Cub/Lesco was he only one I could think of right off that had them, but it didn't look like one.

Here is a picture of the new ZT Max. This one happens to have a 61" deck.
