    Is this safe? A better way?

    I’ve only replaced my fuel filter when it became a problem, which is once, at 600 hours 12 years ago. Every mower (3) since still has factory fuel filter. if I decide I want to change it that’s the first thing I check, is if I can crack it loose. (Rotating method) if not, I hear from a distance...

    Relandscaping boulevard and yard

    So, after excavating the basement to repair a drain line, resheath/reshingle roof, we tore up the yard somethin’ fierce. so, being my sod was about 4” higher than the sidewalks and curb, I stripped the sod with a skid-steer to bring it back down to level with the sidewalk. we are going to...

    Zero turn mulching woes

    that’s great, but im not interested in getting too political because as an American, I’m not happy with the state of America in its current state. As are many Americans. Do we think europe is better? No, they got the good parts from us. the oldest democracy in history was in Rome, at 110 years...

    Zero turn mulching woes

    I don’t blame the mower company, and I don’t think I got the wrong mower. i bought a mower. It mows. cuts decent enough for me with factory blades and the mulch kit, solved my problem as I stated in a previous post. Idk man i just dropped in for some advice thinking I’d get better than “you...

    Zero turn mulching woes

    you just don’t seem to get I never purchased a commercial golf-grade mower, not need to. All I asked was how to make the deck work without needing the side discharge. that is all. i found the factory mulching blades are just junk. Not enough lift to cut. The mulch kit with standard blades does...

    Zero turn mulching woes

    I did work with dust extraction equipment, in fact I rebuilt more that 50 of them, in an industrial application of course. im sorry but yes, I do actually have a lot of expertise in that specific field. I don’t think it’s immensely complicated, as the dust extraction systems however are, but...

    Zero turn mulching woes

    good information. But here’s my area of thinking: a regular single blade pusher typically Cuts pretty awesome. Nothing special, just a round deck and blade On the crankshaft. a regular stamped deck seems to cut slightly better due to the rounded nature of a stamped deck. a welded deck is...

    Zero turn mulching woes

    Yeah that about sounds like the world we live in. as an industrial maintenance tech and millwright myself, what would be a good deck to imitate if I were to modify mine? You‘d think a $4000 gravely, (which from my understanding was high end) up until I saw what grasshopper wants For their units...

    Zero turn mulching woes

    I understand entirely, but respectfully I somewhat disagree. mom not looking for perfection here, just a reliable decent cut. Nothing golf-course ish. but as an update, I did put my mulching kit back on, and put the factory blades back on. And the cut is significantly improved at a tall cut...

    Zero turn mulching woes

    yeah I’ve tried slow and easy but it’s just too lush. Even after hitting it multiple times its still leaving strips of uncut grass, idk I was hoping there might be a solution but it sounds like I’ll just have to manage with the side discharge. even the dealer said “we‘ve sold those mulch kits...

    Zero turn mulching woes

    Noted, thank you. What would you recommend that will not mulch so much as just drop the grass where it lays? im just trying to get a nice cut without spraying it everywhere, I’m not much of a believer in mulching as I’ve been doing it for years and there’s really no disconcernable difference...

    Zero turn mulching woes

    you are right, that is my only problem. But after dropping $4000 on a new zero turn finding a replacement deck for it (as no one’s gonna buy the old one) that’s not an option. I guess I’m just asking what can I do to make it cut normal, without having the side discharge??

    Zero turn mulching woes

    hello, first time poster long time reader. to get to the point skip to “The Point.” But here’s the backstory. I had a lawn business from age 10-19. At 14 bought my first 52” “White outdoor” 24hp zero turn. And business was good. Stayed BEVERY busy. since I grew up and got out of it I finally...
