Do any readers of this forum have any experiences with the mulching kit for the 60 inch commercial belly mower for the 4200-4400 JD compact diesel tractors? TIA Mike S

Hi Mike,
I made my own mulch kit for mine. This works better than any kit I have seen. For the last few weeks the cottonwood leaves at our place have been really bad. Very thick! I belong to another discussion group for lawncare guys. They almost all mow for a living. They have been running double blades on their machines, 2 on each spindle. I made a bracket to hold the blades in an X and got a longer spindle bolt. I use the regular blade on the bottom and a Gator Blade on the top. I then took off the chute and made a plug out of sheetmetal for the discharge. This setup will chew up leaves better and it doesn't cost near as much as the mulch kit from JD. If you have any questions let me know I would be glad to send you some pictures via the email. I am tellling you this works like a charm!! ....
