    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">To my knowledge, GE never offered a
      mulching kit. 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">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>
