Mulching options for Massey Ferguson's mmm 60" deck, 2325.

[RjCorazza]

Yeh, I read some previous TBN posts about Gator blades, people where contacting Gator, were told they don't make blades for the MF2325 deck.


I was looking for pics of underside of zd mower decks, I found this:

Is yours like that? Looks kinda like my craftsman deck, baffles surrounding the blades except for a channel between the 3 blades and then out the chute.

That's what mine looks like, partial baffles.

So guys with GC tractors and 60 mmm, anybody find a mulching blade to fit this deck? I contacted Oregon asking if they now make a mulching blade for it, no response.

I tried contacting them also last year, no reply yet.
I'm still waiting

There are no blades available to fit this deck other than the OEM blades. There have been other threads on this topic. I have been looking for over 2 years without luck. The blades appear to be unique. No one else is going to make a replacement blade that fits exactly 1 mower deck.

The blade itself is 20.5" x 2.375" x .25"

Yeh, this would take some researching. This MF blade is 20.5" x 2.375" x 1/4" blade thickness. I've found plenty of mulching blades 20.5" long x 2.5" width. I'd need to take a closer look under the deck to see if the extra 1/8" blade width would be a problem, I'm guessing no. As for blade thickness, that doesn't matter. So the only other issue would be the center hole.

The combination of blade width, length, thickness, the shape and size of the spindle hole and the offset of the blade from the center where it attaches to the spindle. I don't remember all of the measurements.

But if you find something, like I've said in other discussions, please let us all know.

Try backing up over the leaves, seams to shred & drop them more than going forward. Leaves (no pun intended!) a line of shredded leaves where the blades overlap. This is with the guard off.
