That is what we tried to use when I had a rear section added that really didn’t work well. Agree with an earlier comment regarding caution about putting too much strain on the motors. The appropriate way would be to find 3 more dish like housing to retrofit underneath.

My only thought goes to the baffle system underneath. There are two baffles, one to be used for side discharge,(sort of blocks cut grass from blowing/moving towards the rear of the deck. The second baffle is for rear discharge and is mounted towards the front of the deck leaving the rear open towards the rear discharge. I imagine the "wrong" baffle might result in better mulching in reverse.<o:p></o:p> </div> <div> MIke<o:p></o:p> </div> <div> <o:p> </o:p> </div> </div> <div id="ydp1cd7dc02yahoo_quoted_9187306213"> <div> <div> On Thursday, May 23, 2019, 9:19:58 AM EDT, Hank Ralston <<a href="mailto:Hank@RalstonAgency.com">Hank@RalstonAgency.com</a>> wrote: <o:p></o:p> </div> <div> <o:p> </o:p> </div> <div> <o:p> </o:p> </div> <div> <div id="ydp1cd7dc02yiv0341031653"> <div> <div> Our ET15, 3 head deck with mulch insert the mulching is best in reverse.
