Mower Deck Undercoating

[djdicetn]

With your mulch kit now installed, do you have to mow more frequently so the grass is not taller thus allowing your mulch kit to work better?

I installed it at the end of last summer, so I'm not certain I have noticed any difference in the growth rate of the grass. I still cut just once weekly and won't cut more than 1/3 the total height. Now if we have a very wet summer I may have to mow every 4-5 days instead of once every 6-7 days like I am now. It's still early in the growing season and I can't see a need to change.......yet:0)

P.S.
Hope you didn't take offense to my earlier statement about the "stamped deck" JD has on all but it's top-of-the-line ZTR's. That 7-Iron deck is considered "the Cadillac" of stamped decks and will definitely outperform anything else you compare it to that also has a stamped deck. You will have to post some pictures of your lawn after mowing as I'm certain it will look excellent. In other words, I would be inclined to buy one of those Z960R's if I had the money(I set a limit of $7K when I was shopping ZTR's and my Gravely came in just under that...$6,800 otd).

Heavens no I did not take offense, I am just trying to learn and be prepared for what to expect with this new MOD deck.
I know it is not a full time mulch unless I want it to be and only plan on using it around the immediate house, drive way, pond, so I was just curious if you were able to go between normal mowing periods say every 7 days or you had to change to every 5 days now due to the mulch kit?
