  • I install gator mulching blades on my 100 series john deere lawn mower.
    They worked great, seemed to help when bagging leaves.
    CAUTION CAUTION if you change your blade unplug you spark plug

      I have Gator blades on my D110, those things are STRONG, I have ten old white oak trees on my property and they are very good at dropping bits of limbs as well as leaves. It munches them as well, as long as they are not too big. (2"or less)

      It's way easier getting to the bottom so you can clean it or change / sharpen the blades. The time it takes to build those is probably about as much time as it takes to take off and put the deck back on properly.

    By the way, I HATE RAKING LEAVES TOO!!!! But I mulch the entire lawn first with the plug and then bag them. It mulches the leaves to about a 20-1 ratio and it Works great! It takes about an extra 25 minutes to mulch leaves on my .30 acre yard first but it prevents the tube from clogging with leaves when I bag them.

    Just fitted to my new S120. Standard blades cut, but didn't mulch well at all (left the cuttings in big lumps all over the lawn), these new blades all but made it disappear. Piece of advice - wear a mask as they mulch grass into a fine dust like you get when sanding wood and it goes everywhere - just my 2 cents worth

      You use the gator blades with the mulch plug,how good does it do with just grass? I mow a few lawns for friends that are out of town alot and I'm wanting to get a new john deere s series next year and wanna mulch when I can to save time blowing off driveways and flowerbeds and stuff. The s220 and s240 use the accel deep deck and has a mulch kit you can open and close from the seat,but that may be out of my budget at $3500. I'm stretching my budget at $3000 honestly. I'd appreciate any thoughts youd share.

    Your videos are very helpful but I have one question. The description says that you are installing Gator mulching blades but your link shows Copperhead mulching blades. Which one did you install and recommend? Are they the same or is one just as good as the other?

It comes with blades and a bolt on kit that uses a shield and trap door that's operated by a lever ontop of the deck. When you wanna mulch,close the door. When ya wanna just blow the grass out,just open the door. It's less than $150,easy to install,and well built. Western equipment has a great video showing the kit,its installation.

    Your son's quite the card. But letting him run around behind the mower is dangerous. Lots of kids and animals have been hurt that way, tho I realize with the bagger you're probably not going to be backing up. Still, you should caution him to stay clear of the machine. I like your ramps, btw.
