The decks could be configured for side discharge (baffle mounted toward the rear/tractor edge of the deck with a chute on the side) or rear discharge (baffle mounted toward the leading edge of the deck and a plate in place of the chute). In rear discharge configuration, the deck does mulch some in reverse but was designed to discharge the clippings in a wide path under the tractor (less windrowing than side discharge).</div> <div class="moz-cite-prefix" dir="ltr">A hybrid configuration of side discharge baffle (rear and side discharge baffles are NOT the same) and rear discharge block-off plate would force the deck to do more mulching. However, I would expect poor performance and a greater strain on the deck motors.</div> <div class="moz-cite-prefix" dir="ltr"><br> </div> <div class="moz-cite-prefix" dir="ltr">Tim M<br> </div> <div class="moz-cite-prefix" dir="ltr"><br> </div> <div class="moz-cite-prefix" dir="ltr">On 5/23/2019 8:44 AM, Hank Ralston wrote:<br> </div> <blockquote type="cite" cite="mid:BN7PR13MB235380F4B734B13C320F5936D7010@BN7PR13MB2353.namprd13.prod.outlook.com"> <style><!--/* Font Definitions */@font-face{font-family:"Cambria Math";panose-1:<a href="tel:2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2 4">2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2 4</a>;}@font-face{font-family:Calibri;panose-1:<a href="tel:2 15 5 2 2 2 4 3 2 4">2 15 5 2 2 2 4 3 2 4</a>;}@font-face{font-family:Tahoma;panose-1:<a href="tel:2 11 6 4 3 5 4 4 2 4">2 11 6 4 3 5 4 4 2 4</a>;}@font-face{font-family:"Segoe Script";panose-1:<a href="tel:3 11 5 4 2 0 0 0 0 3">3 11 5 4 2 0 0 0 0 3</a>;}/* Style Definitions */<a href="http://p.Ms">p.Ms</a>oNormal, <a href="http://li.Ms">li.Ms</a>oNormal, <a href="http://div.Ms">div.Ms</a>oNormal{margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black;}a:link, <a href="http://span.Ms">span.Ms</a>oHyperlink{mso-style-priority:99;color:#0563C1;text-decoration:underline;}a:visited, <a href="http://span.Ms">span.Ms</a>oHyperlinkFollowed{mso-style-priority:99;color:#954F72;text-decoration:underline;}p{mso-style-priority:99;mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-right:0in;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;margin-left:0in;font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black;}span.EmailStyle18{mso-style-type:personal-reply;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#000099;position:relative;top:0pt;mso-text-raise:0pt;letter-spacing:0pt;mso-number-form:default;mso-number-spacing:default;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;}.MsoChpDefault{mso-style-type:export-only;font-size:10.0pt;}@page WordSection1{size:8.5in 11.0in;margin:1.0in 1.0in 1.0in 1.0in;}div.WordSection1{page:WordSection1;}--></style><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml><o:shapedefaults v:ext="edit" spidmax="1026" /></xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml><o:shapelayout v:ext="edit"><o:idmap v:ext="edit" data="1" /></o:shapelayout></xml><![endif]--> <div class="WordSection1" dir="ltr"> <p class="MsoNormal" dir="ltr"><font size="3" face="Calibri" color="#000099"><spanstyle="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"calibri",sans-serif;color:#000099">Our ET15, 3 head deck with mulch insert the mulching is best in reverse.
