I just purchased a Toro and got the mulch kit separately. Your video showed me exactly how to install it.

[@dconkey1]

Thank you! I installed the mulching kit last night, fired up the mower and it made a horrible noise. Unless I missed it in the instructions that came with the kit, I had to baffle on the inside of the deck, and could not get one of the bolts to line up. After seeing your installation, I move the baffle to the outside, and now things are working as they should. I need to watch these videos before I do the work.

[@D-MAN107]

Glad it helped

[@georgiafatboymowingandtrac7293]

Great video! Enjoyed watching it! I have one on my Toro Timecutter 54"

[@Autiger6871]

Bought this for a Titan. I have zoysia . It works great. Works better than I expected. Before I installed it, I had to blow the clippings around to disperse them. It chops the grass up real fine. Kind if expensive but saves a lot of work.

[@donlanteigne8629]

This was very helpful, why? Because I read the instructions first 🤔. Step 2 literally says "Remove the mower deck from the machine." "Turn the mower deck upside down." Say what?! That's why I ended up here. You briefly spoke of the instructions and I thought you were going to comment on that but you didn't. Just glad I don't need to do all that. Oh, I also needed to verify what the mulching blade looked like since the ones I received look nothing like the mulching blades I've come to know. Thanks for your help. 👍

[@D-MAN107]

The toro recycling blades look like regular blades unfortunately but they do work. However get you some gator blades if you really want to pulverize some stuff.

[@donlanteigne8629]

@@D-MAN107. That sounds like something I'd want to do because I get a lot of small branches and leaves. Hopefully they provide more lift as the existing blades can't pick up as much as I'd like them to.

[@jsanchex5]

Great job explaining all the pertinent information .

[@D-MAN107]

Glad it was helpful!

[@victorialavoilette3272]

Great video. Thanks

[@torque6389]

Great presentation! Thank you.

[@D-MAN107]

Thanks

[@jpeterman57]

BAM! Subscribed. Not my Toro ZTR TimeCutter model mulch baffle kit but enjoyed the presentation.

[@D-MAN107]

Awesome thanks💪

[@mytre814]

Best video out there. However I wish I could see you mowing a lawn with and without the mulch kit Just to see the difference

[@CuttaSquad]

🔥🔥

[@timmahnesmith1582]

They do make one for the stamped deck. About 1/2 the price.

[@rayvonkyles3388]

Also is your steering tight? Like stewing seems really tight and idk if it’s just toro or what. I just purchased it a day ago

[@vernoncj1]

Great video. Do you know what the model number is for this kit?

[@montanawhite5699]

Do they make a chute blocker for the timecutter? I think a normal one wouldn’t fit because the blades are exposed.

[@markstevens4264]

My "Authorized Toro Dealer" wants $85 just to install this kit - after spending over $5,000 with them! Based upon your time, that comes to about $340 per hour for "labor." Used car salesmen have more integrity. Thanks for showing that this install can be done by a homeowner fairly easily. (Even if one allowed 30 minutes to do this, the dealer is still asking $170 per hour for his labor.)

[@hortyist1]

LOL ...used car salesmen are far from being the ones with the least integrity these days, heck, they're above dentists and doctors imo.

[@rustyreidfishing3334]

Just had my mower delivered last week. My dealer said they would pick up mower and install free of charge. After watching this I’m just gonna install myself so I can mow this afternoon

[@Keyboardletters]

Any idea how to remove the seat cover once I take the seat off to attempt to get the safety switch for the seat out!?

[@jdw1444]

Twisted off the top center bolt. I have a 34" deck Toro zero turn. Is this a danger? Do I need to get another kit?

[@rayvonkyles3388]

Where did you get this kit from?

[@kaykasper8770]

What about removing the discharge cover you no longer need?

[@Keyboardletters]

Nevermind.... Super tight but got them undone to remove cover

[@silviomartorelli4962]

After installing the mulching kit, it should be OK to remove the discharge chute as well, correct? To lessen the width of the machine for tighter places.

[@D-MAN107]

Yes

[@goddale2002]

Just had my Time cutter delivered yesterday. I purchased a couple accessories which included the bagger and hour timer. Wish I look at your video first since I prefer to mulch than bag but got the bag for leaves. Unfortunately there is no way to mulch the leaves then bag it to avoid having to stop and empty the bags a hundred times.

[@D-MAN107]

Mulching is nice just have to stay on top of it and not let it get to tall.

[@mellowjammer]

I plan to buy a Timecutter soon. If I'm only using for my own lawn do you recommend the fabricated deck or is the stamped deck good enough? Also, which deck is better for mulching? (with appropriate recycle kit, of course!)

[@D-MAN107]

The fabricated deck is much better the steel deck rots out fast unless you keep it clean

[@mytre814]

Beware not to buy the one with " my ride" sit You'll pay $1000 more for that comfortable sit

[@mellowjammer]

So, after a year now, do you still have the recycle kit on your mower? Once you install this kit on the fabricated deck, you can no longer side discharge or add a bagger kit without removing everything you are installing here. It makes the mower pretty inflexible as far as using other discharge options without some labor. (something you wouldn't want to do very often, I'm guessing). Did the deck stay fairly clean or did it pack up when the grass was lush or moist?

[@D-MAN107]

Never cut wet grass and your ok

[@mellowjammer]

@@D-MAN107 Sometimes where I live that is just not an option.

[@esnyder77]

What is the part number for this system? Please🙏

[@mrosas2403]

Would you recommend the mulch kit ? Is it really worth it ??

[@D-MAN107]

If you don't want to bag it's great just have to mow weekly for best results

[@MrDoughfingers]

My 2010 42in toro allowed bagging with mulch kit installed… wish new model did so as it was great for mulching leaves and bagging at the same time which allowed for much more chopped leaves per bag. Will be picking up a new toro 42 myride soon. Maybe I’ll remove mulch kit in fall but leave mulch blades on. Maybe try gator blades too. Comments welcome.I

[@rxdrugman3653]

I just purchased the mulching kit for my toro. The blades look dull not like sharpened. Do I need to sharpen before putting on the mower? Thanks

[@D-MAN107]

No need thats how all blades come.

[@davidharris9077]

I'm 62 and I still chuckled when he said " I've got to tighten up my nuts "

[@D-MAN107]

🤣

[@jamiemitchell4604]

When installing the blades, would I need to torque wrench to tignten the blades? If so what is the torque setting? I notice you did not use a torque wrench.

[@D-MAN107]

Impact gun is fine just a few ugga duggas

[@michaeljoyce2644]

Think toro is a little more spec it than that. They do recommend that torque wrench be used.

[@BobSmith-mc7uq]

Fully seated stripped then snapped. That should do you. LOL Google torque specs for the specific diameter of the bolt. These look like 1/2" or larger. You are welcome.

[@pabloserrano709]

Do you think it fits on a timecutters stamped deck?

[@mellowjammer]

Different recycle kit from the one shown here but yes there is one available. Should cost a bit less too.

[@michelgodbout2586]

Whit the recycler on , can i remove the deflector to gain space ?

[@D-MAN107]

Yes

[@stanleyunderwood6501]

Need to know where I can buy that type of mulcher kit

[@D-MAN107]

Local dealer or online

[@stanleyunderwood6501]

Thank you so much for your kind, by replying 🙏

[@michaeljoyce2644]

No torque the blades?

[@D-MAN107]

Nope just pretty tight😉
