Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.3 / 5 from 56 reviews.
Installation was easy and the Broominator works great even on my dry summer lawn at 3.5 cut height. Make sure the hitch bolt is securely torqued (or provide a rubber gasket) to ensure no side to side misalignment when turning. I like the ability to raise/tilt the Broominator up when not in use. Nice product!

Despite still mastering the technique of hitch attachment on my zero-turn mower, the results are evident. If you have the time, I recommend two modifications to my build that have proven beneficial.

Reasonably priced and built to last ! I was very impressed with the way it worked , love the stripping !
Easy to put together and very sturdy. You can’t go wrong with this !Trust me you will not be disappointed. I tried it with 7.5 lb weights on each side but I find it does an excellent job without them . I mow 3.5 inches high and that looks great .
If you’re on the fence, buy it ! This 72 year young man is happy he did 😊
Broominator Stripe Kit Review: Double Striping Setup on a Toro Titan Max
Rating: 5/5 Stars
If you are looking to take your lawn stripes to the next level, the Broominator is an absolute game-changer. I run a dual-striping kit system on my Toro Titan Max Havoc Edition (60" deck), combining a Big League Lawns Checkmate (48") with the Broominator, and the combined results speak for themselves.
The Rig & Custom Modifications
Because the Titan Max sits higher off the ground than a standard mower, getting the Broominator level required a few custom tweaks:
Hitch Height Adjustment: I picked up a Heavy Duty Universal ATV Hitch Attachment / Trailer Hitch Adapter to drop the mounting height so the broom sits flush with the turf.
Matching the 48" Checkmate Width: I wanted the Broominator to match the exact 48" width of my Checkmate roller. To do this, I bought two 24" Grainger push broom heads and joined them together.
Reinforcing the Broom Heads: To firmly bind the two broom heads into one solid 48" unit, I installed 12Pcs Stainless Steel Mending Plates Flat Brackets / Straight Brace Brackets across both the front and back sides of the wooden broom blocks.
Eliminating Side-to-Side Shift: In the included photos, you can see where I attempted to install a U-bolt setup right at the hitch attachment point to lock everything down and stop any unwanted lateral swivel while mowing.
Honest Comparison: Big League Lawns Checkmate vs. Broominator
Having both kits mounted on the same rig gives a great side-by-side view of how they perform:
Big League Lawns Checkmate:
Pros: Unmatched convenience. You can go full speed, reverse, turn, and maneuver backward and forward without having to lift or adjust a thing.
Cons: At around $500, it is a steep investment that might be hard to justify for some homeowners.
Broominator:
Pros: The stripes are second to none. For such a simple concept, this broom lays down unbelievably dark, crisp, high-contrast stripes while simultaneously sweeping up dead grass clippings as you cut.
Cons: Backing up requires pulling the parachute cord to lift the broom off the ground so it doesn't dig in or bend. In my case, I've simply adapted my mowing pattern to minimize or eliminate reversing altogether.
Final Verdict
Running the Big League Lawns Checkmate directly followed by the Broominator creates the ultimate one-two punch for lawn striping. Despite the minor hassle of managing the cord when reversing, the Broominator delivers professional, stadium-grade stripes at a fraction of the cost of heavy roller systems.
If you're willing to make a few quick hardware adjustments for your specific machine setup, I highly recommend it—extremely happy with the purchase!
Bracket enables me to go backwards without issue. Before I installed the reverse bracket. I could not go in reverse.
I only utilize reverse for a few feet while broominator is down.

Best,

I just started using the Broominator with my 15 year old Cub Cadet and it was definitely worth it. Got some good stripes going even though we are in a severe drought in eastern NC.
It is working well. I've used it with 10lb weights on both sides. I think the stripes will be crisper when cutting height is 3.5" or 4".
My picture is with cutting height of 3".
Overall, great solution for my riding mower.

I really like my Broominator.
Installation was a breeze. Original connection rotated too much, so I had wings welded on. Very secure with no side to side rotation.
I make 3 or 4 passes around the perimeter with the Broominator up. I then let the device lay stripes like nobody’s business. In addition, I do not back up with the device down.
I love the product!

Dan from Broominator has been amazing to work with! VERY responsive to all our messages! Took us a few tweaks to getting ours to work perfectly and also just received an email that the paracord solution for raising and lowering is being modified to work better! Please support this great company! Brian and Donna Lommel
Incredible product that provides incredible results! The customer service provided is second to none. If you are serious about having the nicest yard in your neighborhood you owe it to yourself to buy a Broominator!
When I back up with my cub cadet rider it twist and wants to get caught causing my rear wheels to go up in the air therefore I get stuck.
I’ve tighten everything. Good concept but trying to figure out what’s going to wrong
9/8
This was my original post but since then they have reached out to me and other customers asking for feedback. Not only did they listen but they took action! Several emails were sent out and parts were sent out at no cost to make their product better.
Works great now. Takes my yard to another level. Will recommend to anyone and everyone if they are looking for something like this.
Store owner replied:
J. Sorry you’re having difficulties - our next batch mailing out has two rubber washers included to prevent sideways movement and limit bolt loosening (always improving) - I’ll mail you out two on Monday!
Easy and quick setup with the video link in the instructions. First time using the Broominator and I am very happy with the results. Looking forward to the other attachments and a mini Broominator for my push mower for the front yard!
After trying and failing to build my own DIY striping kit, I found the Broominator—and I’m glad I did. After adding a little extra weight, I’m getting incredible stripe contrast in my yard, comparable to products that sell for $400 or more. The quality of the stripes is unreal, and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase!
Works pretty decent. Just think it needs some weights. So i'm getting those today. I really apprecaite your speedy replies and honest interest in your product. I will be a continued customer for sure!
Just received my Broominator a few days ago and already got it hooked to and mowed my lawn. Pulling up to my house it looks amazing! Very happy with the purchase!
Awesome product. Super easy to install and works exactly as advertised. Adds bright and sharp stripes to my lawn that really pop and makes all my neighbors jealous.
Great setup - just need a better process for backing up with it on a zero turn. My setup the broom is almost too far behind the mower having to use a receiver hitch. The rope is a quick fix but it snapped the first day using it.
The new adaption was easy to put on.It is heavy duty and so far it does a great job.Now Im able to back up without lifting the broom up.It has made mowing so much easier.Even with my 7.5 lb weights on it ,it will still bacck up ,I just take my time .
I usually dont write reviews. But i am a weekend lawn warrior. Lol I have a 48 inch Zero turn. I wanted a stripe kit for a very long time , But i was not going to spend close to 400 usd. On a stripe kit. I have a boat and the same rollers used by other brands. These same rollers cost 7.00 usd at the boat shop.
The Broominator fit my budget. I purchased the setup. But i was still skeptical. Because it was new . I received the package. I was honestly expecting a cheap metal frame. But it was very solid. And included all of the hardware even screws to attach the broom.The instructions were good. It took 10 minutes to assemble and attach to the mower. I tried it without the weight. The weights definitely make a huge diffence in the contrast. Overall i give it a 5 out of 5. Great product. At the right price point.
It seems well built but it doesn't stay centered and pivots at the attachment point, needs a way to keep it from pivoting also nee7ds a better option to lift for turning othe than a cord.

We will hopefully be ordering a larger quantity of the reverse bracket and anti-swivel devices in the near future! Finalizing quotes as we speak - will keep you updated.
It would be nice if the product came with a wood broom. Did you know Menards only carries plastic push brooms? Would have been nice not to have to drive all over town to complete this. Also, and this is more my fault for not looking, I don't have a hitch on my new Cub Cadet and had to invest in that as well.
Store owner replied:
Eric,
I'm sorry you had difficulty sourcing a broom! I usually recommend a boardwalk broom from Amazon that has been historically around $26. Hopefully this helps in the future; though your broom should last a few seasons!

The bracket modification you sent me is spot on; it allows the broom to be lifted completely upright without binding, which is why I gave it 5 stars.
I did have to cut off 6" of the bars to prevent them from scratching or gouging the plastic cover on the back part of my mower
However, as I mentioned in a previous reply, I don't really notice much difference between using the broom and mowing without it.
Works okay, I have John Deere lawn tractor so when you have to reverse to make your turn, you have to old the button down or turn off cutting deck all while you are pulling on a string to pull up the broom. Big league lawn is more expensive but is easier to use. Also first time I used it I was in reverse and the string fell off causing the broom to fall down. My mower then went over the top of it bending the mounting point on my mower
Only used it once. Install was a breeze but got to figure out the weight better. Also found a bit of a struggle when weights were on the lift it off the ground to turn around which was a pain. That area could be improved but no other complaints.

Stripes really well. Better than I expected honestly. I think it will stripe even better with some added weight. Backing up can be difficult occasionally but overall not bad. Occasionally the striping kit will loosen due to vibration but if you give the bolts attached to the hitch a quick tighten before each mow, you shouldn’t have any issues. Overall, I am very satisfied, especially for the price and ease of installation. Definitely would recommend. 100% left a noticeable difference when using the striping kit vs not.
