Cub Cadet (42") Mulch Kit

Mulch kits/blades install easily! Kit works fine and has apparently been redesigned due to previous feedback. Current design does not require any additional items (zip ties) to keep cover attached. My only issue/concern is that grass clippings get caught in the small opening between the deck and the cover, requiring the loosening/removal of the cover to clear away the clippings. I may place a piece of tape along the underside of the deck/cover to see it that will help.

The mulch cover does not fit tightly on the blade shroud and blows dust and dirt on your right foot and leg. Will have to modify with some weather stripping to be useable.

This product consists of two mulching blades and a shoot plug. Installation is straightforward once deck is removed. Fitment of the plug could be better despite having a reinforcement bracket. This is evidenced by the protrusion of grass from the seam of the plug against the deck. Despite that, it doesn't affect performance. Perhaps a heavier grade of plug would fit tighter/stay snugger to the deck.

Love mulching, no grass lines.

leaves a line of grass, not worth buying

Mulch kit works great. Was easy to install on my 42" mower. Does a great job of cutting my grass.

As my previous review stated, plug fit is loose across bottom. Then, the second time I used it, the clip on the rear popped out and now it no longer stays in place. I doubt a replacement would do any better. I will have to alter it to stay in place, or more likely make a metal replacement for any sustained use.

Exactly was I was looking for. Fit perfectly on the new model Cub Cadet XT1 lawn tractor.

It does not mulch as well as my walk behind mower. It leaves a rows of cut grass on top of the lawn.

I received the mulching kit on time. Lifted the mower, swapped out the blades. Installed the mulching "plug" and proceeded to test it out on my lawn. After the third pass on my lawn, I noticed what everyone else is complaining about. The plug is very poorly engineered.

It's not securely attached to the bottom of the deck which allows grass to build up and then all of the grass just sprays out from all around the plug. Complete waste of my money and I would not recommend this to anyone until the mounting is corrected.

I honestly feel the manufacturer owes me a refund for at minimum the value of the chute cover (it's not really a plug, since it doesn't plug worth a damn).

I purchased this for my new (2015) Cub Cadet RZT L42. The mulching plate attaches in two places (at the ends), which causes the middle to creep up and become filled with grass clippings and often create a space for objects to fly out.

I would not recommend this product. It really needs a central attachment to keep it from being pushed out of place and opening up. There is a predrilled hole in the deck that would be perfect if the plate had a place to attach and hold down.
