I have recently changed over to using John Deere for the mulching
option they provide, the mulching deck on the mower I have is very
good, in fact the only mower I have used that has a mulching deck that
works.

ISTR that the small JD ride-on mulcher is a re-badged Stiga so if you
want to get the same results for less outlay, buy the Stiga. I have a
Stiga Park mulching mower and it works just dandy.
