I recently replaced my blades with a set of high lift Mulching Gator blades. While these things are amazing they leave a about an 8" strip of not completely mowed grass by the exit chute. This forces me to overlap my cuts by a big margin. I am most certain its because the additional force of the grass and wind coming out is laying the uncut grass down and away from the last blade to cut it..
If I mow the opposite direction (Forcing the exit chute into the uncut grass) it sort of acts like a mulching cover..
Soo.. my question is would it be a good idea to cover the chute? I see full retro recycling kits that include blades, some under deck air foils and a cover.. Too expensive ( almost $200) and complex for the issue.. I was hoping to just get a snap on mulch cover..
Thoughts here?
