What I've seen and experienced is 1st the X blade will tear up your PTO twice as fast due to the shock and the weight of the extra blades but the do work. It will mulch grass if you close the chute because the grass has no where to go. It will not mulch as good as when you have the mulch kit on there and I've seen that 1st hand. It will bog the machine down and you do have to cut slower. I think if I had a smaller yard like 1/2 acre instead of 3 I would mulch but I don't want to mow that much at half speed

I have the same setup on my 2018 Badboy Maverick. My problem is the amount of grass, dirt and debris that comes out of the deck and blows back on me. At the end of the job, I am covered with everything that comes out of the front. I was told by my dealer that the mulching baffles won't solve this issue.

It can deffantly get you dirty. Helps if you play the wind and turn the right way

Those blades are lift blades. All the plate does is block the grass from slinging in the road or against your house or vehicle. The make about 3 different blades types for this mower. For mulching or high lift blades for grass catchers.

My exmark don't mow as good with chute closed. No deck kit. I believe it mess with vacuum. Haven't tried with leaves. Old Kubota chute closed did well on leaves. I don't doubt it mulches grass but what's it look like compared to open. My opinion better looks open

Whats that black front piece you put there on on the deck? Whered you get it? I need one for blowout
@robertmalensek57365 жыл бұрын
It is just flex seal tape. I put it on because there is a gap in the the metal reinforcement and wanted to keep water from getting in there that would cause rust.

It works really good with the mulch blades. Deffantly wasn't cheap. But also love that I can mow next to the drive shop and house and not worry about something flying out and hitting something it shouldn't.
