Mulching, Side-discharge, or Bagging? The mower deck on your lawn tractor was manufactured with high-lift
blades for side-discharge mowing. An optional kit is available to
convert your mower for mulching.
SIDE-DISCHARGING TO MULCHING CONVERSION
Your mower deck is a side-discharge model. For mulching you must
purchase and have the optional mulching kit installed. Refer to the
operator’s manual supplied with the kit for specific installation and
operation instructions. Be sure the side-discharge chute cover
remains attached to the mower deck when the optional mulch kit is
installed.
SIDE-DISCHARGE TO BAGGING
You must have the optional grass bag kit installed. Refer to the
operator’s manual supplied with the kit for specific installation and
operation instructions. Be sure the side-discharge chute cover
remains attached to the mower deck when the optional grass bag kit
is installed.
MULCHING TO BAGGING
You must have the optional grass bag kit installed. Refer to the
operator’s manual supplied with the kit for specific installation and
operation instructions. Be sure the side-discharge chute cover
remains attached to the mower deck when the optional grass bag kit
is installed.
Under many conditions, the mulching blades work when operating in
the bagging mode. However, maximum bagging performance
requires replacing the mulching blades with high-lift blades. These
blades may be purchased from an authorized Honda lawn tractor
dealer.
