conditions permit, grass dispersion is increased by higher ground speeds.
The mulching kit is an option available for our mowers. This kit, containing 3 multilevel
cutting edge blades and add-on containment baffling which bolts to the underside of the
mower deck, mulches and pulverizes grass and leaves.
Another benefit of the mulching kit is safety. In fact, the kit greatly reduces the possibility
of thrown objects. This is particularly important when mowing around schools, public
parks and golf courses.
If you are using a
mulching kit
, you need to reduce your ground speed to under 2 mph
(see fig. 4)
