To each his own, But a Mulching Kit sucks a Lot of Power, to me they are for grass that is kept well cut, if its in heavy grass &
wet, it is going to take some Horses to Mulch all that stuff, just MOP

I tend to agree with user LakeRat1 that if you want to get rid of huge piles of grass clippings a mulch kit is almost a "requiement" if you have a lawn tractor.......but when I said something to all of the dealers when I was shopping for a ZTR they all told me....."wait until you have mowed with this ZTR before even thinking about adding a mulch kit". I believe it's relative to the fabricated deck design and the 1,800+ fps blade tipe speen, but they were right. I have yet to see the first evidence of grass clippings after mowing my yard with my Gravely Pro-Turn(without a mulch kit). I would highgly recommend that the OP take the mulch kit off that Hustler, make the dealer give him a set of regular hi-lift blades and see how it cuts then!!!! If it improves significantly, I would even ask the dealer for a "refund" on the mulch kit and have the dealer take it back!!!

P.S.
I had a mulch kit on my Craftsman 54" lawn tractor, and even though the 24hp twin-cylinder Briggs & Stratton Intek was, in my opinion, a piece of junk......that mower would "die" if the grass was wet or too tall as well!!!!! Aside, from that it DID take care of the piles of grass clippings.
