Lawn Tractor Mulching or Not?
Hi,
I just bought a house and with it came a YardWorks riding lawn mower from Canadian Tire). In the manual it mentions a mulching kit but that is about all (it says to look at the documentation with the kit which I don't have). How can I tell if I am mulching or not? The reason I ask is that the side discharge is still going and right now the clippings on my backyard almost look like I could bail them for hay. Thanks. Alan |

Lawn Tractor Mulching or Not?
Thanks for the information. Just to confirm, if I install a mulching
kit on the riding mower, I would also want to block off the side discharge chute?

Alan Sounds like you don't have the mulching blades on it. No big deal to change, but it still may not act like a real mulching deck. Try changing the blades, and closing off the discharge. As long as it's not bailable afterward, it's an improvement. ;P -- GO# 40 ------------------------------------------------------------- http://NewsReader.Com/ 50 GB/Month |

I think so, it allows the clippings to be chopped up again. Dunno for sure about aftermarket applications though. Be sure to cut it early and often, don't take off more than 1/3 of the grass blade at once. Happy mowing.
