The MulchControl attachment for the 54-in.(137-cm) HC Mower Deck makes mulching more practical for many mowing situations because it not only does an excellent job of mulching but it also allows the mower to be easily converted fortimes when it is more desirable to side discharge or collect the lawn material. Advantages of mulching grass clippings include:A beautiful looking lawnGrass clippings not blown onto the operator, driveways, or flower bedsLess fertilizer useElimination of the effort needed to dispose of clippingsMulchControl is an innovative, simple design that is easy to use and maintain:The MulchControl attachment includes baffles to control the flow of material under the deck. The left mower blade area is completely enclosed and optimized for mulching, thus will mulch even when the mower is in the side-discharge mode.Baffles around the center and right blades are optimized for mulchingwhen the discharge baffleis closed.The MulchControl handle is located on top of the mower deck and used to open and close the discharge baffle. The operator is required to get off of the machine in order to engage or disengage mulch mode.Changing from mulching to side discharge or vice versa takes only a few seconds.MulchControl is well-suited to the following mowing situations:Usually mulch, but side discharge when grass gets too longUsually side-discharge, but would like to be able to close the chute to control clippingsAlways mulch a main lawn, but often side discharge secondary lawnsBag clippings, but want to go farther before emptying bagsMulchControl puts the operator in control of the clippings. Now the operator can have all the benefits of mulching with the ability to easilychange to side discharge or bagging when needed.MulchControl limitationsWhile in the side-discharge mode, MulchControl will still mulch about one third of the material. Therefore, the side-discharge mode is essentially a partial-mulch mode. This can be an advantage when side discharging or bagging, as it helps to reduce the amount of material being discharged. Other times this could work as a disadvantage:When cutting strong southern grasses, such as Zoysia and BermudaWhen cutting in wet, high-growth conditions, such as those found in the Pacific Northwest United StatesWhen optimum bagging and lawn clean-up is desiredCompatibilityMulchControl for 54-in.
