I have tried all sorts of other designs and my customers like this set up . Of course, John Deere makes a special insert that lives above the blade zone to keep the grass in suspension not needing the lift of the blades at all . The plug is OK - but not the real deal . But for sure, leaving mulch in the lawn is a very good idea - as it holds water and keeps the weeds down .	SurferJoe46 (51)

But for sure, leaving mulch in the lawn is a very good idea - as it holds water and keeps the weeds down. not sure how that works, if the grass doesn't get thrown up then it doesn't get cut again. afaik (its been a while since i looked at this) trying to mulch with standard blades that throw rather than lift tends to dump the grass like your making hay. the john deere insert i'm not sure on but some mowers come with a piece above the blades thats meant to help direct the grass back down into the blades more (toro ?) afaik it really doesn't do much other than help sell lawnmowers. really need a pic to see the part you mention. btw keep in mind we are talking lawn mowers not ride ons, completely different deck designs tho a few things are similar.	tweak'e (69)
1457690	2019-02-02 03:24:00	OK.... decks vs pushers. I had a customer with a worn out deflector over the blades - a triple set, and it was leaving big globs of grass clumps all over the place. Once I replaced it, it worked perfectly. John Deere seems to know something that I don't really gather yet. I've got one more to do this next week if the weather holds nice for a bit. Youse guys gong into Fall now?	SurferJoe46 (51)
1457691	2019-02-02 05:39:00	We are in mid-summer now Joe, February is usually our most stable good weather month which can last through March and most of April some years here in Christchurch. We have just had a week of stinking hot weather and expecting a lot more with just a few mild days in between, very little rain.	zqwerty (97)

Youse guys gong into Fall now? pics? the deck design needs to match the blade design. if either one changes it doesn't work to well.	tweak'e (69)
