How to Install Mulch Control Kit on John Deere Zero Turn Z320R Mower

[@ronnies2wheeladventures]

Thanks for the video. I noticed you did not replace the blades with mulching blades. I that not part of the kit? Does this mulching kit affect the ability to use the bags to collect grass?

[@ClayytonBaker]

Thanks for the video. It was much clearer than the instruction manual. I appreciate you!!!

Thank you. I purchased my ztr about 2 years ago, bought the mulch kit last year and just today decided to open the box.. Will install tomorrow, thrilled with finding this video. (My 2018 ztr/Deere kit assembly was a whole different beast.)

I just installed my mulching kit on my Z315E . It's super easy to install. I also replaced the blades with the new ones that came with my kit.

Good video, I used a lawnmower jack and didn’t have to remove the deck. Done in about ten minutes.

[@brandonaitken1180]

Do a video!

[@PaulBlanchard-i5o]

Thank you for the video as it was a great help. I did do two things different. First, as in your old mulch kit video, I used a 3/8" ratchet with extension in the square hole on the spring bracket, pulled it back and a helper removed the belt from the back pulley without having to remove the belt from the tensioner. Second, I removed the front hanger from the deck rather than from the frame and pushed it up to the frame. One less thing to get in the way when pulling the deck out. Beyond that followed the instructions and everything went well.

Great video!!! Very glad to have found this channel. The instructions and closeup shots are excellent.

Great demonstration and guidable!

[@jimdandy4329]

Extremely helpful, very detailed. Thank you!

I enjoy your videos. Wish I was close enough to buy a mower from you!

OMG so helpful 👍👍👍👍👍

I just subscribed to your channel. Yesterday I bought a 2024 JD Z320R from my local Dealer. I plan to mow today with it! Thanks for the video on the mulching kit. I think I will call my dealer and pick one up. So my understanding is that the kit comes with the mulching blades. You didn’t discuss this in your video so maybe I am wrong. Should I also install the mulching blades? Again thank you so much for your videos! You do a great job. My JD salesman said he also followed you! I mentioned you to him. Thanks!

Can you please make a video for installing the mulch kit on the S240 tractor?

[@joshkramer3236]

Thanks for the how to video!! The JD directions for Z320M were pretty crappy!!

[@Frank6289]

Awesome instructions. Thanks!

Do you happen to know the part number for the same kit for a 54 inch deck?

[@tillmannoneya6941]

Thanks so much for video. Only question is kit came with new blades, didn’t see until done with install. Do I need to install?

[@dannyhager9767]

I thought new blades came with the kit as well???

[@XD9rottie]

My kit came with new blades. I held them up to the blades that I got with it when I got the machine and they seem to be the same design to me? I’m thinking “bonus set”

[@DJChrisSee]

I thought the same, but I looked up the part number and it says "mulching blades". Either way, I just got mine and did a spring clean up with the material collection system and it seemed to shred that stuff just fine with the blades that come standard on the machine

[@gregralston5874]

Great video, thank you. With this kit, is there no need then to replace the bladed with mulching type blade?

[@str8upn0l1fe6]

Will this kit hold up?

[@luciaboone9131]

Do you have a video for the bagger on a 48”?

[@XD9rottie]

Can you use the Mulch Control Kit in combo with the Material Collection System? IE if I want to mulch but then bag some?

[@MrArmbrustjohn]

Can this be used with the bagger system?

[@DoctorRickSanchez]

Can this mulch on demand kit be installed on a Z760R?

[@thomasgriffin3474]

Deer needs to go back to metal mulching kits over plastic

[@jimgolden7426]

Can you install the kit without removing the deck?

[@randybailes530]

The problem is that when it's in the open position, your mower will clog up because your discharge area is now about a half an inch.

[@Eznot2cme]

You forgot to install mulching blades. It comes with high flow on it

[@azimmey]

Too many reviews with the mulch kit getting tore up by the blades being $300 it’s not worth it and I’m taking the mower back because it won’t mulch without that kit

[@ricksephton5991]

In the manual that comes with kit, it specifically says that blades must be changed to the blades in kit, or it will destroy the plastic pieces.
