Can I use the mulching blades or should I replace with the regular blades?

The factory (mulching) blades will be fine and that's what I use. Look for a decent angle on the back of the blade (creates lift). Or just try it out and see how much you collect.

I just put mulching blades on mine as well. I have yet to use the catcher this season but I think they would work just fine.

Good question and I don't know. You could ask these guys, they have a forum for asking these things http://www.mowersdirect.com/lawn-mower-product-expert.php

Yes, loosen the two screws on the old blade and remove the blades, then replace them with these new blades. You should have no problem at all.

No. There are dozens of different kinds of blades. You must match the mower model to the replacement blade model.

Blades already come sharpened with a factory edge on them. The design of these blades are made to mulch the grass better, I never used them to know since I sold my John Deere tractor that I installed them on. There are three different blades, standard blade for using side discharge, high lift blades for using a bagger attachment, and a mulching blade for recutting blades of grass. If your comparing this Gator blade to a standard mulching blade then the answer is yes from what I have read.

Just a plain standard mowing replacement. If you want a really fine mulch it will not work for you.

It came with a Standard blade. I think you have to order the mulching blade separately. I hope this helped :)

are you looking for a regular blade or a mulching blade? I purchased a "mulching" blade from amazon but was sent a "regular" blade. No one at amazon knew the difference so I had to return it to Amazon and find a Husqvarna retailer. It took from July until October to get it all straight. Sorry but I would not order this type of product from Amazon.

You can use the same brand for both blades, but different sizes. As for two different brands you can do that as well so long as it's the proper size.

To mulch, you need the cover. Otherwise the clippings just get ejected like having been cut with regular blades. With the cover on, the clippings are smaller than they would be without it. But, you have to cut more often. Mulching over long grass takes forever because you have to go so slow, and the clippings still pile up on top of the grass.

You should be fine. They will be just slightly taller so you may need to relevel the mower deck or adjust the cutting height.

I have no idea what mower that is or if the blades will fit. Look up the blades for the model you have and then cross reference them to these to assure they are compatible with your mower. The blades work ok on my mower, but the bagging and mulching rate is slightly reduced, probably because of some small geometric angle of the blade that reduces flow under the dome/body. But they work just fine. I bought 3 and change blades after every 5 cuts. I then resharpen and balance. A little overkill on the changes, but I am a perfectionist, which you would realize if you saw my house cars and motorcycle. I have no idea what mower that is or if the blades will fit.

I am using the normal discharge chute because I general cut very high grass. I am sure they will work well with normal grass for mulching.

Good question...I don't know. I know they tell you to use the brush and the oil to keep the blades going, but replacement blades would be nice.

If you are converting your mower from regular to mulching, you need the kit. The chute cover prevents the first round of cuttings from escaping and keeps them in the cutting chamber. This allows the mulching blades to recut them many times so that what is deposited on your lawn is fine clippings that can function as a natural mulch.

The blades are not the best. It depends on how much you use them and what kind of wood you are planing. You will have to replace them after a short time.

I don't use mine...mulches great, the bagger hooks on ...real simple....great mower!!!!

i am not sure, though, I have never needed to replace it. Usually the blades need to be straightened and resharpened after a harvest.
