does this lawn mower mulch?

Listen to me carefully. This mower is junk. It will break. The trans-axle is very very weak. Dont get this mower!

I think it can. I never used it for that. If you are thinking of buying this product. Please reconsider. This has got to be one of the worst mowers ever. Its always breaking something. I would not wish it on my worst enemy. 3 trannys replaced and it was going out again when i sold it. I HATE the thing. Horrible product. It ought to be against the law to sell this riding mower.

Don't throw your money away on this. Mine is taking up room in my greenhouse. Cost too much to throw away, but I can't bring myself to even give this junk to anyone else.

No, it does not mulch. I would seriously consider another model as it really is a piece of garbage.

Yes, this mower mulches. I do it with mine as a regular style of mowing. It needs an attachment to do it, however. I ordered mine right after I got the mower 3 years ago. A cover plate fastens in place with two short bungee cords, there are two ready made holes in the mower deck for the hooks. If you are shopping for a mower, you need to know that this mower does not turn on a dime. The turning circle is almost as big a for a subcompact car. Rather than backing and turning I mow in overlapping ovals to get the job done. By the way, if I get through the year without something breaking it will be the first mowing season without something going bad on the mower. Yes, this mower mulches.

I've never used it to mulch but I suspect it does a good job. Great lawnmower. It is a bit heavy and takes some effort to push but that's due to its solid construction. Never had to pull twice to start it...and that's a plus.

It's mulching the grass. I'm allergic to grass, my fraternal twin brother assembled and is doing the mowing. There is not the discharge of a regular mower. I know that it is mulching but can't tell you what kind of blade.

Hi EricG, I tend to keep in in mulch mode...it collects pretty well, though not so good with damp grass. Never tried the side action, as prefer to collect the cuttings. Cuts better than the original, however, IMO.

No the vacuum has a steel blade in it (the reason my husband likes it) that mulches and is permanent.

Yes they are. I have two on my craftsman riding lawn mower. They mulch fine.

Yes, it is a electric mower, plug is just off the handle. It is supposed to mulch, but I have never used that function. Yes they can fold easily.

No it does not. It just has the bag attachment for vacuuming leaves or whatever and then you can dump it out for mulch, compost, etc....

I'm not sure if the vacuum will separate smaller items from mulch, however, I use the slower speed to blow small leaves and grass off, without disturbing the mulch and then vacuum. It's a great little machine and the 2 speeds accomplish lots. Hope this helps!

If the bag has not been emptied soon enough, it will throw out the mulched leaves instead of bagging all of them. I find that my mower has to be emptied quite often in this circumstance; especially when bagging leaves. When mowing grass, my mower throws out part of the grass if the bagger becomes too full. The grass shoot should always be fairly clear.

Yes, I am sure it would pick up mulch just fine! And I am happy to say, the digger is still played with and is a favorite past time for our 5 year old grandson.

I don't know about that particular mower, but I do have it installed on a 21 inch John Deere and it does a great job of mulching the grass. In the fall it reduced the leaves to a fine mulch. First time I've not raked or bagged grass or leaves.To keep the blade in place the John Deere has two tips that fit into holes on the blade. I had to enlarge these holes to fit the blade mount. No big problem and like I said it works great at mulching. Just be careful of the mounting configuration.

When we bought this model, we had looked at a lot of power mowers. I really don't think that this one has a side bagger. My husband really likes the mulching feature. It grinds grass and leaves very fine and does not leave a "mound trail".

Never really tried turning mulch. I would think it would spear the pieces of mulch. I'd rake the old mulch and then use the Weasel.

Yes, that is what we are using it on. Works great! Now mulching rather than bagging.

It sure can! No bag required... that's the whole point of mulching, but it's there if you want/need it. Only time I might bag is if I let the yard get out of hand and the grass is just too high. I've only used it once, but will update again after I've used it several more times.

Yes sir it is mulching. The side discharge attachment that comes with it can be added very easily. It just snaps on and keeps the mulching door open. Its been a good mower so far.
