Husqvarna HU42 (42") Mulch Kit (Tractor/Zero Turn)

The mulching kit was very easy to install. It may have taken 10 minutes, start to finish and including clean-up.

The different blades do mulch better than the originals. and of course the plug makes a big difference as well.

We used to use a leaf-mulching/bin-collection attachment to our Husqvarna riding mower. It had cost us a pretty penny (about $400, if our memory is correct). After the mulched leaves filled the three bins, it meant hauling them down to the woods for disposal. The former system for dealing with our leaves was a lot of money and a lot of work. Now, with this new mulching kit (two blades and a chute shield), our leaves are mulched finely enough to let stay on the lawn without harming growth. Looks like we can sell our old bulky contraption. Should have made the switch years ago!

Instructions said that, by using the plug in combination with the mulching blades, the grass cuttings would disappear into the grass.

It doesn't work like that. It leaves streaks of grass cuttings along the side opposite the discharge chute. I cut the grass once a week so there isn't that much taken off when I mow, as per the directions.

Ordered the mulch kit and it actually fit and worked as it is designed to. Well pleased! The blades are not the quality I thought they would be the only negative I can think of.

Easy ordering, lightening fast shipment. Shipping and handling excessive.

Parts arrived quickly and performed admirably.
