Jd X320 Mulching kit , yes or no?

[jd320]

Hello, Im new to the site and i got a new 2012 JD x320 48'' deck. Love it, so quite and smooth. My question is should i put on a mulching kit or a bagger. i had a toro zero turn with a bagger and i liked it,but i live in an area where its hard to get rid of bagged grass. So im thinking of the mulching kit.Plus i think the lawn benefits from it. Whats your thought and opinions? Some pics of mulch kit and where to buy.thanks

Just buy the mulching blades - they have a serated top portion that cuts the grass into finer pieces. You can get a blocking plate too, but that IMO will plug and create lumping if its wet when cutting. Just get/look for "gator blades" or similar.
