Note: I’ve never seen a lawn striper like the one reviewed by Grass Daddy in person and have no idea about the specifics of their design and construction. Share specifics of my build to hopefully help others avoid guesswork and mistakes that I encountered.The striper should work with my tractor when either the mulching kit or the grass bagger is installed.Be able to mount the striper to my tractor without drilling any additional holes in it.Provide a detailed breakdown of parts used, where to get them, and what they cost. Use only basic tools and construction techniques without resorting to specialized skills like metal fabrication, welding, etc.Use reasonably priced and readily available components that are easily acquired by the average person.Build a high quality striper for less than the ~$300 starting cost of the commercial unit.At that point, I decided it might be fun to build one and share my experience to hopefully help others and minimize the experimentation and guesswork a project like this typically ends up causing people like me. I was particularly impressed by the heavy duty boat roller-based lawn striper he reviewed here, but I was surprised to learn that the starting price for an appropriate-sized unit for a lawn tractor like mine was nearly $300! I found some info online about people building their own boat roller-based stripers (see here, here, and here at for inspiration), but there wasn't really a single source that had detailed info about sizing, sourcing parts, measurements, problems encountered, helpful tips, detailed cost breakdown, build steps, etc. I've spent quite a bit of time over the past couple of months trying to get my lawn looking like it used to, which has included watching several videos on the Grass Daddy YouTube channel.
