Great video. I have a Lawn Stryper coming tomorrow. As soon as I can get my hands on the EGO brand I will likely get that one as well. Where did you get it from?
I ordered mine from Acme Tools back in March. Looking on their site, they have it available for pre-order again.
for an ego mower? do you have a link to where to get?
@@MDbandit10 Check the Acme tools website.
It is in stock here: powerplusparts.com/products/ego-ar2100-striping-kit-for-21-walk-behind-lawn-mowers?_pos=1&_sid=398aa50c0&_ss=r
I am looking for a "universal" striping device in terms of a clip-on rather than all this dealing with fixing and screwing stuff together! I don't mind that sometimes, but when I am working on my lawn that is enough work for me.
Yeah the Ego one is as close as it gets but only for the Ego.
I've never purchased a Stripe kit I've seen lots of people that use them on the FB groups and they would not be without it. From the looks and the assembly process I think it's a GO!👍🏽
I only started striping last year in August, but I am completely in love with it LOL. I do not stripe when my grass is stressed though (Summer). This was an exception in order to do this video, but no more striping until the temperatures cool a bit.
@@GirLzLawn Ok gotcha 👍🏽
Loved the comparison and seeing how I’m going to be able to store it vertically. Hope you got inside before the storm.😅
Thank you. Yep, I made it 😄
Will these stripe kits work on my shorter Bermuda grass? Great video and thank you
@@brianfreeman2569 I’m not sure.
Thanks for the video! Do you still prefer the Ego Striper attachment over the Lawn Stryper?
Yes. It just moves better with the Ego. I still use my Stryper on my Toro Super Recycler.
Not bad I think you cant go wrong with the lawn stryper if I had a choice. Thanks for showing this.
The Lawn Stryper is a great choice.
Isn’t the trailing flap suppose to be out from under the mower? Looks like it’s trapped underneath. I also noticed the old flaps you swapped out were torn apart in the center likely from the rotary blades hitting them. Maybe that was affecting to cut.
Possibly
Great job on the installation and review PJ. My 2 cents on the two. Having the Big League lawn striping kit for 16 years now I am a little partial. Having made mods to all my manual reel mowers and rotary with added rollers, wheels and etc. I like fixed kits as opposed to the ones that you just attached and have too much movement such as the Lawn Striper and others similar to that design. Weight is essential to achieving good stripes. Either way they all stripe and guess it depends on what people can and are willing to spend. Nice job.
Wisdom from the Striperman himself! Awesome. Yep, it just comes down to personal preference really. I was never comfortable with the weight of the Big League on my plastic deck Ego, but it was just fine on the metal deck Toro. My preference is the Lawn Stryper for my Toro mowers at this point. It just handles the turns better for me. The Ego striper is perfect for the Ego Mowers, as it feels like a natural extension and it has been engineered specifically for those mowers.
Nice review PJ! What's the price difference between the two?
About $70 I think
Thanks for the review.
After your review I went and bought the Ego striping kit for my Ego Select Cut XP but I'm having problems.
The mower becomes harder to push and leave a lots of uncut blade of grass when the kit install, this is my second time using it.
It's the same with yours?
Hi Bobby. So I got really used to pushing forward on my Ego even without the stripe kit. The thing with that mower is that it’s light because it is made of plastic and therefore it lifts a lot. Any extra weight is going to require a little more effort to push. It’s the price we pay for those stripes, unfortunately. I have actually experienced the mower missing blades before and after the stripe kit. Other mowers do that as well.
@@GirLzLawn Thanks for replying so quickly
With out the striping kit, using the high-lift blade I rarely have any uncut blade of grass, but it a different story when I used the mulching blades .
With the striping kit it really does not matter what type of blade I use there's always so many uncut ways of grass.
Thank you for the feedback on your experience with the XP unit. Would you please clarify that when you say the mower becomes harder to push, do you mean you push the XP manually or the Self-Propelled drive is having a harder time driving it? LM2156Sp is 54lb + extra weight of the High Lift blade is 0.355lb and the 10.0Ah battery is 7.4lb with the total weight of 61.755lb. I am using a Peak Power LM2142SP (with full SelectCut High Lift Dual blade, fan & flange assembly parts) which has the same 8.3 ft-lb torque brushless motor (when using one 10.0Ah battery according to XP spec.). LM2142SP is 62.6lb + 1.292lb (extra SelectCut with High Lift dual blade + 2-in-1 flange/fan + washer weight vs factory Standard blade + flange + fan +washer) and running with two 10.0Ah which would be 7.4lb x 2 = 14.8lb with total of 78.69lb. I am interested in the Striping kit; however, not with any cost of the cut quality. With the two 10.0Ah in the dual battery bay the mower hold itself down without any front wheel lift pretty well and does produce very even cut that produces an average striping result with the factory flap (a bit wider than the XP). with a 78.69lb unit, I am hoping it will not cause front wheel lift as I often concisely not resting my hands on the handle bar.
@@Jeo-What Personally I see a little difference in effort whether manually pushing or using the self propel. The striping kit is 15lbs so you can expect to feel a little difference.
@@Jeo-What Hi George,
Pushing the mower manually with the striping kit is harder .
I just mowed my lawn for the third time since I got the kit and found the best way to get a decent result it's by using the self-propelled with the high-lift blade.
Tthe high-lift blade is the way to go
Thank you for sharing our experience with us with this EGO striping kit. I see the cutting result you are having and with my experiment on different EGO blades think the High Lift blade will help a lot. LM2135 is 55.3lb (1.3lb heavier than XP according to EGO spec??) + extra weight of the High Lift blade would be 0.355lb and the 7.5Ah battery is 6.3lb with the total weight of 61.955lb. I am using a Peak Power LM2142SP (with full SelectCut High Lift Dual blade, fan & flange assembly parts) which has the same 8.3 ft-lb torque brushless motor (when using one 10.0Ah battery according to XP spec.). LM2142SP is 62.6lb + 1.292lb (extra SelectCut with High Lift dual blade + 2-in-1 flange/fan + washer weight vs factory Standard blade + flange + fan +washer) and running with two 10.0Ah which would be 7.4lb x 2 = 14.8lb with total of 78.69lb. I am interested in the Striping kit; however, not with any cost of the cut quality. With the two 10.0Ah in the dual battery bay the mower hold itself down without any front wheel lift pretty well (can't wait to put two 12.0Ah batteries in it) and produces very even cut that gives an average striping result with the factory flap (a bit wider than the SelectCut models). with a 78.69lb unit, I am hoping it will not cause front wheel lift as I often concisely not resting my hands on the handle bar. I checked the flap design on the LM2142SP and see that I do have to do the wheel disassemble process to remove the screws on both side of the housing where the empty wholes on each side of the upper plastic housing of the SelectCut is located or.... just use a good pair of scissor to trim down 3/8" of the width on each side of the rubber flap and be done with it! I am still deciding and thank you again for showing the striping result and the comparison with 3rd party striping kid.
The price we pay for the stripes lol
Nice... will need to look into the kits
You have an Ego?
Nice job, yes I will be getting one. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you. I hope you love it. 👍🏽
Wow, finally it's here! Thanks for the upload
It was a long wait, but Ego finally came through.
@@GirLzLawn They need to release their rotary scissor next! So many are converting their trimmer to one from idech.
Hello Hi do adding this additional weight of the roller effect the run time of the mower thanks
The extra weight will cause more drain on the battery.
Convinced me to pull the buy lever on one. Thanks!
The simplicity of connecting this one vs the others is enough for me to lean towards the Ego option.
now u need an ego umbrella!! great job
😂 Thank you
@@GirLzLawn I just bought my Ego 2135sp , kinda for the wife "she wanted to help" this ole Disabled Vet lol. I have to say , Im Impressed!!! it does as well as my Toro Super Recycler!!! I just ordered the striper after your Video. Never did I think i would but a battery mower but here we are.🤣
That turning! That changes the game for these striping kits👍🏽🤘🏽👍🏽😲🔥👌🏽
Yeah, I think Ego owners will really like how this feels like a part of the mower. Good turning and backing up.
I’ve watched your videos and decided to purchase the Lawn Stryper kit for my EGO.
I’ve gotta say, the added weight of the Lawn Stryper when filled with sand was very noticeable when pushing the mower. Did you notice this as well. I never activate self propel.
Might try this one next season. I’m cutting Bermuda at 2” HOC gotta top dress the Lawn next year.
Hi Ray. Since I had been using the Checkmate which is 22lbs, I can't say I really noticed the weight, but I tend to use self propel often. The Ego kit is comparable to the Stryper in weight. How are you liking the stripes?
ray where you by lawn stryper for ego? ones I see say not for electric mowers
@@MDbandit10 sblawnsystems.com/lawn-stryper-generation-3/ This is the Lawn Stryper. Check the Acme Tools website for the Ego striper.
Do I have to do this to my LM2167SP?? Thank you!!
Hi, I’m not sure. Check the specs or description on the product page for the striper.
@@GirLzLawn thank you
I have the ego lm2102sp do I have to change the flap
Per the list here - ruclips.net/video/plslem1mz8g/видео.html I don't think you have to replace the flap.
Great video... Only one complaint... turn the volume down on your music pieces.... I am constantly turning the music down and your narrative volume back up. Thank you! please keep up the great content!
Noted! Thanks for the feedback.
What do you think of this ego striping kit vs checkmate striping kit with the new quick release feature that they have?
To me anything that’s made by the manufacturer for their own product is likely going to be better. I haven’t seen the new checkmate quick release so I can’t speak on that.
@@GirLzLawn thank you. But in terms of striping, which do you think is better, ego striping kit or the checkmate?
@@zaso0214 Checkmate for sure
@@GirLzLawn thank you!
Nice review .... do yoou still use the EGO striper?
I do.
The electric mower don't have enough suction to pull up the grass for the striper to push the grass down. You can see areas where the grass is clumped up.
We continue to chase perfection.
Well, you see that she did not have the bag attached. With the bag attached and the bagging blade running, the EGO does a great job at pulling up all of the grass.
I got mine today and love it
Great tool!
Interesting. It's like a hybrid between the Checkmate and Lawn Stryper...
Yeah, kind of, I guess.
Wow The Eagle striped kit did a really good job 👏🏾
👍🏽 It’s biggest advantage is that it’s made only for the Ego mower so it moves nicely with the mower.
Do you think Ego striper kit will fit any 21' Mower
No, I doubt it. They engineered this for their mowers for sure.
@@GirLzLawn ok thanks
Universal is the way to roll out!@@GirLzLawn
I love your Adidas!
I'm an Adidas gal :)
Just found your channel! I'll have to cruise through some vids. Thanks for creating. New subby & 👍🏼#37 from me.
Hey hey! Thanks for the sub. I hope you enjoy the content.
I wish you would please take the battery out of the mower before you turn it over or pick it up or put your hands and feet under it.
@@youtubular007 noted
The Ego one looks so skinny. As if it doesn't have enough weight. Between the two it did well in t he stripping for sure.
It’s skinny for sure but the weight is about the same as the Stryper.
