You really only need a striper if you're trying to stripe Southern grasses or you butch your Northern yard. Here's some pics of striped yards, notice how few used a striping roller: http://www.scag.com/showyourstripes.html If you’ve got a Northern lawn, just mow it taller, it’ll stripe itself and be healthier.

Can't think of a reason I'd want this at all, and why a 2x4 wouldn't be a lot cheaper.

With enough weight, the flap would bend the grass over in the same way and there wouldn't be a drum to kick and trip on. Oh and your wallet would be $60 heavier.
