John Deere 60-inch Mulching Kit Fits 7 Iron and 7 Iron II Decks and 60D Decks

John Deere 60-inch Mulching Kit Fits 7 Iron and 7 Iron II Decks and 60D Decks

60" mulching kit from John Deere, that will fit the 7-Iron & 7-Iron II decks.

The mulching attachment allows converting the mower so it can be used to mulch grass or leaves. Remember you will have to follow the 1/3rd rule. No more than 1/3 of the grass blade should be cut off at one time. This allows more efficient mulching and will promote the continued good health of the grass. If the desired cut height can't be achieved by cutting off 1/3, or there is clumping of the clippings, it may be required to cut higher; wait a day, then lower the mower and make a second pass. Mow at proper intervals approximately every 4 to 5 days.

This kit also includes installation instructions. This kit does not fit any other 48" decks. If you are unsure which deck you have on your mower email or call us so we can help you determine which deck you have.

Operating tips

Mulching:

• Mow when grass is dry

• Observe the 1/3 rule

• No more than 1/3 of the grass blade should be cut off at one time; this allows more efficient mulching and will promote the continued good health of the grass; if the desired cut height can't be achieved by cutting off 1/3, or there is clumping of the clippings, it may be required to cut higher; wait a day, then lower the mower and make a second pass

• Mow at proper intervals—approximately every 4 to 5 days

• Always mow with sharp blades

• When using the mulch kit, clippings are held in suspension under the mower until the PTO is shut off or the engine speed is reduced to slow the mower blades; when ready to stop mulching, slowing the engine speed while continuing to drive over the cut area will allow the suspended clippings to fall and disperse more evenly over the lawn

Tips for special situations:

• If mulching performance is not satisfactory, raising the mower to increase cut height, even a little bit, will often make a big difference

• If excessive clippings appear at the left edge of the mower, the left rear mower lip should be removed (if the mower is so equipped); this will promote better distribution of clippings

Good mulcher

Item received in good condition and speedy delivery. The installation was typical John Deere. The instructions are not the best, but the internet can help there. The product itself installed well and has worked very well so far. Main use thus far is mulching leaves in the yard in autumn.
