John Deere 48-inch Deck Mulching Kit Fits Many 48 Decks. 48 mulching kit from John Deere. The mulching attachment allows converting the mower so it can be used to mulch grass or leaves. Remember you will have to follow the 1/3rd rule. No more than 1/3 of the grass blade should be cut off at one time. This allows more efficient mulching and will promote the continued good health of the grass. If the desired cut height can’t be achieved by cutting off 1/3, or there is clumping of the clippings, it may be required to cut higher; wait a day, then lower the mower and make a second pass. Mow at proper intervals approximately every 4 to 5 days. This kit includes two deflector ramps that are used to redirect the clippings into the blades for recutting. Specially shaped mulch blades with longer cutting edges that are designed to cut grass into fine clippings and direct them into the turf. This kit also includes installation instructions. This kit does not fit 48C decks. This 48″ mulching kit is compatible on the following models with 48″ decks that have three blades. 170, 175, 160 and 185 Lawn Tractors 240, 245, 260, 265, 285 & 320 Lawn and Garden Tractors F510 and F525 Front Mowers 38-Inch. 48-Inch and 54-Inch Commercial Walk-Behind Mowers LX172, LX173, LX176, LX178, LX186 and LX188 Lawn Tractors F710 and F725 Front Mowers F71 0 and F725 Front Mowers GT242, GT262 and GT275 Lawn and Garden Tractors GT242.

Great fit bolted right in , all holes existed. Slow your cutting speed a bit, compared to normal. Lawn looks like carpet after cutting. The kit was easy to install and fit perfect. From 7024 Van Rd Duluth MN 55803. This mulching kit was easy to install and my yard looks much better mowed with the mulching kit. No longer have grass blown up in piles and it mulches leaves also. I have noticed that I need to run the engine at a higher rpm than I did with just the regular mower to do the mulching. Should have bought this a long time ago. Great investment for my tractor. No clean up and a well manicured yard. From Highland Park, IL. Great product at a great price. Relatively easy to install. Just need to drill a couple bolt holes in the deck.
