Mulch kit for Scag Liberty 48 hero deck

[zplugger]

Looking for advice on a mulching kit for my Liberty. I'm 72 and it time to put away the push mower, this is my first zero turn. Should I go with the Hurricane mulch kit or just get a blocker plate and some good mulching blades? I usually don't cut wet grass, being retired I wait until afternoon to cut. I cut twice a week so only taking a inch or two when cutting. With my push mower I always bagged, but I want to start leaving the clipping for better lawn. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Also any suggestions on mulching blades and blocker plate if that route is best.

Mulching blades and a blocker on the chute should work fine as often as you are cutting. The people with 2-foot-tall grass and think they can mulch are the idiots I see too often.

I recommend no mulch plate. Raise the plastic exit at a 45 degree angle and let the grass fly as far as possible. Remember to lower chute around people, windows, or cars for possible rocks to fly out.
