Up until now we had been using two Toro Timemaster walk-behinds to cut all of our yards. We have only mulched with them so far. Well I just bought a ztr and had the mulch kit put on it. I was almost ready to return the thing one it's firs day because it seemed to be cutting so poorly.
Well a while into my day I came to the conclusion that I was just cutting grass that was way too thick, way too low. That along with the fact that the grass had nowhere to go creates a problem I assume.
Then throughout the day, every lawn care guy I saw was using the side discharge on their ztr. Which is more common. I'm going to start with raising my deck level but want to know whether to keep the mulch kit on. About half of my yards get really thick and the other half are not bad.
I also noticed that 2" on the ztr does not equal 2" on the walk behind. Because it's heavier and I'm weighing it down I assume? I'm going to have to do yards that I previously did at 2" on 2.5 from now on.
