Mulching tips
Engine speed and ground speed
Use full engine throttle matched with a slow ground speed so
that clippings will be finely cut. Ground speed while mulching
should be HALF of the speed that would be used when
broadcasting (side discharging) under similar conditions.
Since mulching requires more horsepower than broadcasting,
using a slower ground speed is vitally important for proper
mulching operation.
How much grass to mulch
The best mulching action typically results from cutting only
the top 1-2 cm (1/2-3/4 inch) of grass blade. This provides
short clippings which decompose properly (much more
quickly than longer clippings). The ideal cutting height will
vary with climate, time of year, and quality of your lawn. We
recommend that you experiment with both the cutting height
and ground speed until you achieve the best cut. Start with a
high cutting height and using progressively lower settings until
you find a cutting height that is matched to your mowing
conditions and preferences.
