Once the plow is installed, can I remove it easily for summer mowing and then re-attach for plowing again? Or is it a full install every time?

The first time there is the mount that must be installed on the mower. Once this is on, you can leave it on all the time. Changing from the blade to the mower and back is not difficult or time consuming.

In my eyes, the plow attachment is not the issue. It's the mower deck that is a pain to take off and reinstall. Once the mounts for the plow are on, they can stay on allowing for simple attachment of the plow, but they will be on the mower all summer. Also, if you use a brush guard on your mower, the plow mount will also have to be removed since they use the same mounting holes. I found the installation to be more than it was worth and bought a snow blower this winter instead.

You have to mount a bracket the first time that stays on the mower. Then the plow comes off and on with a couple of pins.

Once it's Installed, removing and attaching the plow is quick and simple. The main attachment remains on and the plow bolts into that.

You will need to buy the universal mounting kit also. "Once you have mounted the kit the bucket just easily attached. I swap between the bucket and a snow plow depending on what i am doing.

Yes sir it is mulching. The side discharge attachment that comes with it can be added very easily. It just snaps on and keeps the mulching door open. Its been a good mower so far.

Hi EricG, I tend to keep in in mulch mode...it collects pretty well, though not so good with damp grass. Never tried the side action, as prefer to collect the cuttings. Cuts better than the original, however, IMO.

Yes you can. That is how it is designed. It even comes with a cap for the receiving piece to avoid damage when mowing.

Yes, there is a long handle with a knob and a spring at the end of it it's located on the back of the plow. It's easer then you think, just pull on the handle turn the plow to the setting you want and let go in. There is three settings left, right and straight.

I would remove the mower deck so you don't get stuck unless you are using it for light duty.

RWD You may also have to add a counter weight to the auger tunnel. My John Deere has a weight above the auger that bolts on to balence it,when you put the canopy on this throws the balence way off and you will be lifting the blower up when in use.all I did was add about the same weight to the peice the came with the unit.I had mine tacked weled to that weight. you could just remove it mak the holes drill and reattch it with longer bolts. Mine works real well worth the money. and will keep you a lot warmer Gary

It comes with everything you need to attach it to your lawnmower (minus the tools, of course). A couple wrenches is all you will need to install the bracket to the back of the tractor, then the dome part slides onto the bracket and the bags hang from the dome part. Installation was simple. You'll need to remove a couple bolts and install the bolts that come with the bracket. I had to remove one additional screw to get the bracket to slide into place, and once the bracket was installed, I re-installed the screw since it was necessary to hold some wires in place. All-in-all, it was easy.

You will also need the model specific mount the "Mid Mount" plow system connects to

No. The mower is partially assembled. You have to assemble the handle bars, and that's it.

I did not purchase the optional grass catcher, so I don't know. My feel is that if the grass is cut regularly I would not need the grass catcher. I have used the mower for three seasons and am well pleased with the mower. Unlike a powered rotary mower, it will not scalp in places that are not perfectly level. My yard is small so it works well for me. Might not be a good idea for a large yard, unless you expect to get a good work out while mowing.

Yes you can remove/re-install as needed, however unless you are using the holes for something like camper tie-downs, there isn't any reason to remove them. They "wedge" in to place.

I have used it, and still using it! It works great! I use it for plowing so I would say it gets used a lot, never had any issues with it!

Yes, this mower mulches. I do it with mine as a regular style of mowing. It needs an attachment to do it, however. I ordered mine right after I got the mower 3 years ago. A cover plate fastens in place with two short bungee cords, there are two ready made holes in the mower deck for the hooks. If you are shopping for a mower, you need to know that this mower does not turn on a dime. The turning circle is almost as big a for a subcompact car. Rather than backing and turning I mow in overlapping ovals to get the job done. By the way, if I get through the year without something breaking it will be the first mowing season without something going bad on the mower. Yes, this mower mulches.

Hello, On installing the mulch cover you can just leave your discharge chute on and install the mulch cover under it. Makes it fast and easy. Thank, CF

I have not tried the plow type. However let me tell you this. I am a leg amputee and this shovel works great for me. I can clear snow from a large driveway and it is not a problem.
