Xtreme mulching kit for xt2
Ordered the Xtreme mulching kit for the xt2 and am disappointed that they still have not fixed the problem everyone has complained about already in the past. While the plug is a very tight fit it still allows grass to come out at various areas around the plug and causing a clump on the inside that the blades will hit and make noise and then the top of the mower deck when done is totally covered in grass clippings. If I didn’t already install the blades I would probably return. My advise is try the plug first before you go though all the trouble of installing the blades and if you have the same issue then they still have not corrected the problem. I guess they don’t read customer reviews and fix the long known problems.

Works but didn't fit,
Attachment works great, but it did not fit my mower as received. With the front rod in the proper hole and the cover properly in the groove in the deck, the back hole was about 1" away from the stud bolt in the deck. No way it would ever fit. But being the clever fellow I am, I drilled a new hole in the deck and relocated the stud bolt. It now fits like it should. You need to check this out as the next customer bight not be a clever as I am.

Doesn’t fit fabricated deck
Like others have said, it leaves a 1/4” gap on the fabricated deck and the grass shoots up your leg. Very disappointed. This was my first cub cadet and I paid a pretty penny. Never again!

Great Mulching Kit
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the mulching kit shortly after purchasing my ZTS1 42 mower. The original side discharge chute limited my ability to mow close to obstacles on the right side. Now with kit installed I can mow my odd shaped yard more efficiently. The mulching kit was easy to install. The instructions called to remove the deck, but that seemed overly complicated. I simply raised the deck to max height, jacked up the front wheels and placed them on my portable car ramps. This allowed me to quickly and safely remove the standard blades and install the mulching blades. The side discharge chute was easy to remove and the new cover slipped into place. I’m happy with this kit and recommend it. As an added benefit, there are no “rows” of grass clippings left behind like with the side chute. Thanks!

Better than expected
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Installed the blades and plug in about 45 minutes. The plug fits fine when installed correctly with no leakage. The blades completely grind up large piles of leaves in a single pass. Would purchase again without hesitation.

Great Item
Firstly, the delivery time was crazy fast. Ordered it on a Monday afternoon, item was at my door the next morning. Installation was easy and fast. Used a blade lock to lock the blades and removed them with my impact gun. New ones went on fast and easily. The supplied panel seals the side chute completely. The mulching blades shredded the first of the seasons leaves and left very little evidence on the lawn. Great item.

Mulch kit works well
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good so far. 4 cuts in with the product. Seems to do what it is supposed to pretty well. Easy install… hardest part is getting the blades off which isn’t too bad with an impact gun. Reduced to amount of grass flying out which is what I wanted. Doesn’t leave clumps. But have not cut really tall grass yet.

Xtreme Mulching Kit Could Be Better
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Xtreme Mulching Kit cuts grass good, but the mower is hard to clean afterwards as grass is thrown over everywhere. Ended up removing the mulching kit and went back to normal mowing. If you cut you grass twice a week or so you probably won't have a problem (less grass buildup). Unit easy to install.

Good, but deflector doesn’t stay as ured
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s a decent kit with a good blade. The directions are hard to read. The chute cover tends to bow outward. I drilled some holes in it and attached it firmly using zip ties. It would be better if the deflector had a better way to attach or if it was metal so it didn’t bow so much during operation.

Great fit and does the job it should
Bought mine last year after I noticed I was shooting clippings into the flower beds at home. I like it a lot . Looking to pick up a spare pair of blades so I won't be down while one set is off being sharpened. Unlike the picture someone else posted, my molded cover fits over the fab deck, there is no space.

Good blades, Bad side discharge cover
The blades work as expected, however I was disappointed when the black plastic cover for the side discharge did not completely cover the opening. It was challenging get it on and at the end it left a gap which the grass clippings get clonked at, I used duct take to cover the gap and seal the difference.

WORKS GREAT!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The mulch kit was easy to install, and they work perfectly for my 42” XT2. As others have said, make sure you fit the flap on the inside of the frame. It’s a tight fit, and took a couple of tries to get it in, but I’ve had no issues with the kit.

Cover not for fabricated deck
Bought the mulch kit for my new XT2 with the fabricated deck. Waited a month for my dealer to get the one for the Fabricated Deck. Paid him to come over and install the kit. Cover does not fit the deck. Is there a real cover for the Fab deck that seals the opening correctly?

Mulching kit and plug.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The blades do a great job. The issue is the plug. It doesn’t seal up completely and grass blows out. The plug should have been made out of metal with tabs that insert into the bottom of mowing deck for a tight and secure seal.

Difficult to install.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Difficult to install. Very hard plastic that is not very flexible. Doesn’t conform exactly to the opening. You have to use a lot of force to get it in place. Does not completely seal. Not a great engineering item.

mulch plug
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Mulch Plug had to be cut to attach and I will need to cover the gap left accross the top to stop clipping from shooting on me. This is the second plug sent by cub cadet to me. The first had to be refabricated to fit.

Very good kit
Do a great job.
Installation of the mulch plug is not easy, but it fit perfectly at the end. Take your time. First time I had to remove the deck. Not difficult be will be more easy next time (more specifically the reassembly). I sharpened the blades for a clean cut.

Dont trust their site.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The mulch cover does not fit correctly. I will have to modify it otherwise it shoots clippings up and all over the mower even though their site said it was the correct one for my mower. Poor design.

Good kit with bad fit
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is good mulching kit for fab deck cub cadet zt1 made in 2023 model. Blades are good but there is few gaps ones you fit near hook area. It couldn’t have been designed better but it works.

Mulching Kit Zero Turn
Purchased the mulcher for my new zero turn. So happy I did. Read many reviews that said it was useless. Not sure why they came to that opinion. It works great. No issues at all. If you are on the fence, don't be it's is a wise purchase.

XT2 42 inch mulch kit installed at dealer - sad
I removed chute and this is what's underneath. I replaced a 20 year old 38 inch bolens which also had a mulch plug that fit much better. I expected better from cub cadet bought from an authorized service center.

Didn’t help
I was hoping the mulch kit would work better than the stock blades. They seem to produce finer clippings but my mower still leaves trails and clumps of grass especially while turning.

No idea what all the low reviews are for
Works fine. Easy to install and does what it is supposed to do. I'm guessing the negative reviews are due to people buying the wrong one or installing it wrong. No complaints here.

Mulch Kit
Blades appear to work sufficiently, however the mulch cover/plug does not fit well. Took majority of the time with assembly as I saw in other reviews. Grass come through the unit.
