Mulch cover issue
The cover needs to be redesigned. It gathers clippings and deposits it on the lawn as lines or clumps. I always have to remove to clean up the stuck clippings

Cub Cadet mulch kit
This mulch kit was designed by an amateur. The worst one I’ve ever purchased. The blades do a good job, but the rest is junk. Besides the crappy plug that everyone seems to hate, me included, grass and anything else you may run over becomes impacted inside blade pulley safety cover and can’t be removed unless you remove the pulley safety covers. Honestly, I’m concerned that it may start to burn if the heat from friction becomes too much. I am going to change back to regular mowing mode and write this off as a $100 mistake. On a happier note, I’m satisfied with the mower itself.

needs a lot of improvement
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I saw the reviews saying this was crap and they were right but I didnt have another choice. My yard is long but narrow and I was tired of discharging clippings into my ac unit and onto my neighbors lawn. The blades are good, but better if you give them a sharpen after the first couple mowings. the plug will not stay secure and youll be covered in grass and dust by the end of the mow. what i dont understand is how cub cadet leaves holes around the deck where the plug would attach yet there are no holes in the plug or any way to secure the bottom. it willl clog with grass pretty quick and youll be wearing the clippings in no time. cmon cub cadet, you're better than that

Very Good but Not Prefect
The only issue with the kit is the deck plug. It does not seal the opening very well and grass gets stuff in the cracks of the opening. Other then that the blades are solid and do the job.

Nice mulch kit.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works great. Looking back at mowed yard, there were no signs clippings or clumps of grass. It doesn’t seal great but it doesn’t blow out all over. It just gets plugged with grass and then it’s sealed. If you don’t like that then you can add some foam weather stripping around inside edge of mulch plug and that should seal it. But lawn looks great and issues about the seal are just not there with mine. I don’t know what to say other than I love it. Now I just have to take it off to start the fall clean up and get all the leaves in the bagger. They are just now starting to fall slowly. The leaves will not mulch up like the grass.

Good but needy
I've been using this for a few years now and I've found the plug should probably not be made of plastic since it flexes too much. I have to take it off an clean the area after each use since grass will build up on the edges causing it to bulge out and allowing some grass to come out from around it. For it to work properly you have to clean it often. I wish I would have known the differences between stamped and fabricated decks so I could have gotten a fabricated deck in stead. It and it's accessories seem to be higher quality.

Could have been made better for the high price
For the price of this kit, the cover should have been made of metal or a thicker plastic to seal against the deck better. As many other do complain that the grass makes it way between the cover and the deck and you constantly have to remove it to keep it clean

Works fine, if it will stay in place
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The blades work fine, but as others have said, the plug doesn't fit well enough to stay sealed, and you end up with a clog of grass pushing it out, or with grass just spraying out the hole. A temporary solution is to clean the deck really good, then use some gorilla tape to hold the plug in place for one cutting. A better solution would be to attach one or two bolts along the bottom of the plug to hold it in place. In the spring, I plan on drilling some small holes in the thin portion of the deck, below hole, mount it more securely.

Disappointed
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I ordered this for my new ZT1 46 FAB mower. It came installed by the local partner. It is not installed wrong, it simply doesn't fit right. Of all the places to have an opening in the cover/plug for the deck, right on top at the front? Really guys? I mowed for the first time and was bathed on my right side in grass clippings being blown UP the opening. The control panel and my water in the cupholder COVERED in grass clippings. It must have taken me 20 minutes to blow all the clippings off the mower before I could put it away. Clippings built up on top of and around the blade pulleys and belt, did anyone ever test this plug while actually cutting grass?

Needs to be better
Blades are great, the plug doesn’t fit very good. Grass comes out around the top and bottom. Needs to be a snug fit all around.

Great Blades but the mulch cover is worthless
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this earlier in the summer to go with my new 46” cub cadet riding mower. I am pleased with the blades and how well they work but the mulch cover is absolutely worthless. The grass builds up under it and pushes it out rendering it useless. This seems like it would be easy to reengineer and fix the problem. Since all I do is mulch, I am considering another brand for next year. So frustrating to spend that much money on a mower only to be disappointed by a cheap plastic part that was poorly designed.

Blades are great! Plug cover, not so much.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Blade itself gets 5-stars. Plug gets 1-star. Average of 3 stars. As many others have mentioned, the blades are awesome. Easy to install and cut like a champ. The plug on the stamped 46" deck constantly traps grass and debris around the edge. I wind up wearing more of the grass than anything. Plus cleanup at the end of each mow means I have to remove the plug in order to wash all the debris out of the way. I've seen hacks on the internet of drilling holes and cinching with strong zip ties (I might look to see if a bolt/nut would work without hitting the blades). Very poor design on Cub Cadet's part to have it so loose. I may remove the plug cover altogether and see how it works.

46" mulching kit
The blades cut nice on the mower leaving no clippings on top of the cut. The cover does not fit well as others have mentioned throwing clippings all over the upper deck and around the belt. I was very disappointed that the blades on my deck use the s connector making it impossible to use an aftermarket blade. The blades through Cub Cadet are very expensive and you have no choice.

Poor Design
I purchased a ZTS1-46 mower the other month. I gadded the Xtreme mulching kit for an extra $100 (machine was came to over $5K after tax, you'd think it'd come with a mulching kit, hour meter, fuel gauge etc...but it does not)
The plastic plug that covers the deck hole is what is poorly designed. It is flimst plastic that hooks into one hole outside of the deck on the right, then there is a small tab (approx. 3/4") that slides into the left sidewall of the deck and then it sits within the bottom lip. Lastly there is a crew on top of the plug that threads through the deck.
After two passes in my yard the grass builds up inside of the deck and pushes through the plug, leaving thick grass trails behind. Others have complained about this as well.
I shouldn't have to alter an expensive accessory just to make it work properly.
Very disappointed in Cub Cadet for selling such a poor-performing "accessory".

Lackluster Quality
The plug cover is terrible it doesn't seal at all, grass blows out all the way around it. I am doubting my purchase of the mower now after seeing the complete lack of quality in the mulch kit!

Good kit, no issues here
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There are too many reviews on here that are negative. The blades were a piece of cake to put on and they cut very well. The molded plug fits in perfectly like a glove. Now there is a little bit of grass that is sticking out from the bottom, however That has not increased or gotten worse with additional mowings. Now I will agree that if you are trying to tackle a high grass area routinely and you leave this plug-in, you may be pounding the grass under the bottom of the plug, but if you are diligent on your lawn I don’t think it’s gonna be a problem. If I had to tackle high grass, as if I could mow for a few weeks due to rain, I will take the plug out, mulcher up and then reinstall after I like the kit. I’m glad I bought it.

Extreme Much Kit
Easy to install plug and blades. But plug just doesn’t fit tight, even when installed exactly as directions described. Gaps between deck and plug allow grass to escape the deck area and cloud up around operator.

Horrible plug
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Either the person who designed this, the QA guy, or both of them need to be fired! Every purchase should come with some zip ties and duct tape because that is the only way you can keep the plug closed. If not you'll have a trail of grass clippings. If they ever design a better product everyone who purchased this mess should get a free replacement. How can they look at all the same horrible reviews and not fix this issue yet??

As many others have mentioned very bad quality. The plug is not secure and grass blows out still. There has to be a better option.

Poor Design
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Blades seem good but the plug doesn't stay in place. Shortly after starting the bottom separates from the deck and grass comes spraying out the side. I bought a mulching kit so I didn't have to clean up grass when I cut it but this leaves lots of grass in its wake and makes yard look sloppy. I ended up modifying it by drilling holes in and securing with zip ties and now it works. I shouldn't have had to do that.

Mulching blades Mystery
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the XT2 back in May - STILL WAITING FOR THE MULCHING BLADES I ORDERED - ABSOLUTELY UNBELIEVABLE.
Very disappointed in the product availability, especially for a new mower.

XT2 LX46
Bought the XT2 LX46 mower about a month ago. Mulching kit not available until September. I mowed the lawn once, and raked for 2 days. So, I paid $3000.00 for a mower I cant use, and $60.00 a week for someone to cut my lawn. I wish I would've known the mulching kit wasnt available. I would have never bought the tractor. Shame on Cub Cadet

Poor cover design
Cover is poorly designed and leaves grass all over the lawn. It needs to be redesigned with more secure attachments to the deck to prevent this. The blades seem fine otherwise.

Mulching Blade Kit
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Installed on Cub Cadet 23 hp, 46" cut. Very easy to install and works great. No rows of grass to bale. I had to increase the mower's throttle slightly because of the extra chopping required, but it is still running under half its power. This mower could easily cut the 3 acres, I used to have. The city yard I have now only teases its abilities, making my work done in 30 minutes.

Still waiting for the rest of my order.
Ordered mulching kit 5/23/22, on 5/27/22I received an e-mail stating my order had shipped but on part of my order was on its way. On 5/29/22 I received the mulching ladies but not the mulching cover. I have called Cub Cadet numerous times only to be put on hold for as much as hour before I finally hang up. All I want to know is when can I expect my cover to complete my order. (CC8288760E22)…

Great upgrade for those that want to mulch
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy upgrade if you want to mulch instead of throwing grass everywhere. Mulching blades have a great cut. Makes it a little easier if you have obstacles in your yard as you can run to the edge of either side of your deck. Only thing that I see for improvement is the fit of the plug as mulched grass gets clumped up in the edges of the plug.

46" Mulch Kit
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pretty good - not amazing, but not bad either. I really didn't have a lot of the other problems that other people reported, and the (plastic) cover worked fine. My only issue is that it sprays clippings that swirl around the front tires, and my feet. A metal cover would be better, but what I have works fine. Easy to install.
