[ritchiem]

Ok here is a video of me putting in a set of lines in a lawn...somewhat of a how to...I'll make better ones very soon.

Equipment - 48" Exmark Viking fixed deck...no striping kit installed..

Let me know what you think of the video and how I could make them better...or what topics you would like to see.

Thanks Richard, i will try that tip of yours.

Hopefully I will master it one day and figure out something that will do stripes as good as that

This is a little off topic. Do you always bag the clippings? I avoid bagging unless it's just impossible not to.

this is my lawn at home and I usually do at home...I never bag the clippings on client lawns unless they ask me too. Now during the fall I bag every cut for the leaves.

Hi Richard,

I think you are onto something with your videos.

Here is my view on what I would add to it.

I would possibly use a fast forward when you are actually mowing. That would still allow you to get your point across but in a faster time. Also I would use a steady tripod shot at the end.

The video is great!

I look forwards to seeing more of them from you.
