Re: (ET) Mulching

["" <thumphrey mynra com>]

Mulching requires much more power than just clipping. However I believe 
some on the list have had success.

I removed the rubber flapper from my deck and it now sprays the clippings 
evenly out the back. It leaves no windrows nor clumps, kind of like a reel 
mower, even in damp grass(which also requires more power to cut). However, 
it makes a mess of the underside of my tractor. I am seriously thinking of 
putting it back on. 

Stay Charged!
