Customer Reviews for Husqvarna 42 in. Tractor Mulch Kit

Just added this to my Poulan Pro 42" mower. Easy to install and the blades are stamped "grass side" so you know which direction to face the blades. Only worry is that one of the two rubber straps that hold the cover in place is stretched way more than I'd like. So we'll see how long it takes before it snaps. Otherwise, the fit is pretty good.

I recently bought a Poulan Pro riding mower but I knew that I needed to have mulching blades on there after having to remove the excessive amount of leaves this season. So I bought this kit (42" Husqvarna mulching kit) and had it put on because I didn't have a clue as to how to lift the riding mower. It took all of 10 minutes to lift the mower, unscrew the regular blades and put the new blades and the cover. Thank goodness no more messy leaves to rake or burn. I can't wait for the grass to grow and the leaves to fall. Very, very pleased I just wish that these mowers would already come with the mulching blades already on.

As mentioned above, the directions were for several different models but did not specify which directions for which model. That should be clarified by model number. The graphics were drawings which weren't exactly easy to identify. Actual pictures would have been more helpful.

The basic installation process is pretty easy; the blades are held on with a nut, and the discharge cover is held on with hooks and elastic. The discharge cover makes a loose connection with the deck and can be jostled out of place a little. Mulching performance is fine. I did not want the discharge shield on my [Ariens] mower to stick out past the deck, so I removed it. This was a little difficult because it required prying off the cap on the hinge pin. Then the problem was that grass and dust gets shot up through a little hole in the top of the discharge cover part of the mulching kit. My previous mower had a bolt-on discharge cover with no gaps or holes, and it worked better.

easy to install

Quick and easy installation. Very simple instruction guide to follow. Mulches grass and leaves with ease.

Great. Parts arived on time

Only issue is I didn't realize until I installed the plug on the grass chute that the grass deflector stayed on the mowing deck. No issue though. Installed the blades without jacking up the mower, I just raised the deck to highest point and could reach the bolts no problem. I did purchase the Arnold Blade Removal Tool and it helped a lot holding the blade in place.

Works great! Easy to install.

Doesn’t fit well or mulch well. Disappointing.

Getting the older plastic thrower cover off was no easy chore, but the new mulching blades were easy to install and so was the chute cover. Cut the grass last night and they worked really well.

Very easy to install works great!!

Works slightly different than other mulching kits I’ve used before.

Great product

Works well , was easy to install with the tractors front end elevated

I rate the mulching kit as poor. When I use my riding mower it leaves clumps of grass everywhere. It doesn’t mulch good at all as it’s very messy. I would not recommend buying this kit. Save your money.
