Do you need mulching blades for this product to function?

We did not put on mulching blades and it works great. My husband did have to modify to make it fit properly.

I did not change blades and it works just fine. Only time I have had any problems is with wet grass.

They should. Have 2 pair myself so as to always have a sharp cut. Are you going to mulch or just cut?

Yes they will...and they actually do a really nice job at mulching up the grass. Should compliment your mulching kit nicely.

I would say yes, they need to be the same. I think, among other reasons, is the weight of the blades should be equal. These blades are for mulching so it doesn't seem logical having them different. You will be much happier buying two blades.

No, it does not mulch. I would seriously consider another model as it really is a piece of garbage.

The Grass Mulching Is Just A Function Of The Blade Action, The Bagger Functions As Normal, The Answer Is "Yes".

It is supposed to mulch with the exisiting blade. It won't win any prizes for doing so.

If you are converting your mower from regular to mulching, you need the kit. The chute cover prevents the first round of cuttings from escaping and keeps them in the cutting chamber. This allows the mulching blades to recut them many times so that what is deposited on your lawn is fine clippings that can function as a natural mulch.

Absolutely, I use it this way in areas where the mulch is needed or where the alternative is just to leave the leaves where they fall. You should also get additional bags. I have four.

We absolutely love the mower- it's the best we ever had. As for mulching, I cannot comment on that as we bag everything it picks up and put it in a mulch pile in the corner of our yard, so never really used it as a mulching mower. As a bagging mower it works fine, vacuuming up even small stuff.

I use mine for mulching and cutting grass. You may need to go over some areas a few time to get them all but it works great for me

yes, but the vege needs to be the proper size. it also is essential when you get close to the blade or blades.

I like the mulch but I keep my grass low. Also the way I use the mower does make a difference. Some people say that mulching leaves clumps. To avoid this I cut in thinner strips at a time. I never use more then 1/2 the mower. I don't think the brand of mower makes much difference. For me I don't like working with the bag (bending over, emptying the bag est,) I prefer walking around the yard just a little more. When I return from vacation after 3 weeks I do have to rake up. Unless I return from vacation, I always mulch.

Bought this for my dad a few months ago. He said he would let me know if I needed to order mulching blades, he never did and when I asked him about it he said that he saw no need. He mows in a. Business park that's very picky so I would be inclined to say no unless you're knocking down grass that three feet tall.

Yes it does, but it doesn't come with any blades. So you will need to purchase the blades you need. They do have a case of blades that meet almost any need.

I have used my machine to chip rhododendron and maple branches with leaves attached. It doesn't do a great job mulching the leaves. They just pass through. I also have a Yardman blower/vacuum that does a much better job mulching leaves in vacuum mode.
