Toro Lawn Striping System

If you love taking care of your lawn, this roller is a must! Take your lawn to the next level. I got this unit because I wanted the “wow factor” and this does it. I attached it to my Honda HRX 217 mower. A couple things to note: 1) When you attach the clam shell clamps to your mower, you may find it difficult to get them low enough on the handle bars. The directions advise that the hitch tube be between 3 1/2″-4 1/2″ from the ground. I found that the handle bars attached to the mower flattened out higher than I would have liked. Therefore, the clamps can’t get much lower than 6-7 inches from the bottom so my lower hitch tube is at the high limit. 2) Filling the roller was no problem and took less than five minutes. Don’t use “play sand” but some All Purpose Masonary Sand. It’s dry and flows easily through a long neck funnel. Just pour it in one glass at a time. Easy Peasey. 3) My Honda mower handle bars appear to be larger than other mowers because the clam shell clamps were difficult to get tight. They don’t completely close when you tighten all the screws so I imagine this is made for a Toro with a thinner gauge handle tube. I used epoxy glue on the screws and used a little longer screw than what was in the kit so the clamps would hold. 4) This does not interfere with my grass bag so you can easily bag your grass with it. I don’t mulch, but if you do, it won’t be an issue.
