Ditto here. No mulching kit. The discharge looks finer to me with the Gators, but I can't say for sure. I didn't have any complaints about the stockers until I tweaked one (my bad, of course).
So it sounds like JD took some money from my backhoe fund for a mulch kit I did not really need. The mulch kit also appears to ruin the wash-out port function, but I've read it doesn't work anyway.
I know... MAYBE all that plastic will make my deck last longer! :thumbsup:
... and don't anyone tell me all that plastic will make the deck more difficult to clean, hold dirt and debris and corrode the deck even faster. I know it's true. I just don't want anyone to remind me.
