uniy is good

Easy to install and they do a great job of cutting grass. Strongly recommended for anyone.

Had never taken the lawn tractor apart so I wasn't sure what to expect. Most fasteners were clips so not much problem. I did not have a torque wrench to ensure the blade bolt was tightened within 80-100 psi as specified. Other than that, few issues. The directions require you to use the lawn tractor manual to take the lower carriage off the mower - good thing I still had it. The pictures were not in the instructions were not great. Would have appreciated an online link with actual photographs since I had never done it before. Line drawings just did not show enough detail. They show no drawing of the chute add-on in place, so it is hard to know when it is properly installed. The poor illustrations slowed me down such that it took about two hours to install this kit. Installation problems aside, I am very happy with how the lawn tractor now mulches the grass. No bagging, raking, and quicker cleanup around edges with a blower.

I was a bit skeptical about purchasing this, but I must say it works. I have a Yard Machine 42 inch mower and this is the mulcher that is recommended for it. It was easy to install, but I did not use the suggested procedure. I just jacked the whole mower up and put it on jack stands and laid down where I could reach the blades. Total time maybe 1/2 hour.Time will tell about durability, but I must say it made short work of a 1/2 acre of all kinds of leaves and in some places they were a few inches deep.Price was good too. Box Store wanted $90.

My first shipment showed up without the mulch plug. Just two blades, returned and reordered and this time i received the complete kit. If you watch video on installation everyone takes the deck off. I didn’t I just lifted up the back tire on a cinder block and with a breaker bar and a piece of wood to jam the blade was able to swap the blades out in 10 minutes. So much less effort that removing the deck.

I don't get all the dirt grass blown up on me making grass cutting a enjoyable thing again
