Default Lawn Striper...need some input

I'm kinda worried about the same thing, only in my case it's: since I AM the
drive mechanism on my Craftsman, how hard is it to push this thing around a
yard. Fully loaded they say it weighs 30-35 pounds. The video on the
Inventtek site (www.inventtek.com) makes it look pretty easy, but who knows
what the cummulative effect over, say, a half acre will be?

Also, although I've e-mailed the company a couple of times myself (and yes,
they do answer promptly, even on a Sunday), I'm still a little concerned
about how to mount the thing. I just don't like the idea of having to drill
holes in the Craftsman. I've looked my machine over a couple of times and I
think I should be all right, but you never know until you actually try. I
just wish there was somewhere local to pick one up, rather than do it by
mail order.

Regardless, I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to give it a whirl in the next
week or so...unless someone beats me to the punch, I'll let you know how it
works out.

I emailed the company because everytime I go to PNC Park for a Pittsburgh
Pirates game and see the design in the grass, I wonder if I can do that.

Never
could. Anyhow, I got an immediate reply.
*****************************************Thank you for your interest in

the
Lawn Striper.
The striping effect usually stays for about 5 days.
This all depends on the type of grass, the amount of
Weight in your lawn striper, and weather conditions.

Which brings up another question. If the roller is heavily weighted, what

will
this do to the drive mechanism of the mower, in my case, a Toro.
Also, I do a lot of pulling the mower backwards. Seems to me this would be

a
chore.
