John Deere Riding Mower Mulch Kit - 42-in Decks is rated 3.9 out of 5 by 236.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works like a charm! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this primarily for mulching the falling leaves rather than grass clippings and it does great! The leaves are finely chewed up and put back on the lawn to naturally fertilize the grass as they break down. Really beats raking leaves. I had used an attachment for my blower (Black & Decker) in the past but would just get covered in leaf dust, not so using the tractor now that this cover is in place. I'll be interested in seeing how it works next spring on the grass, but really expect it to perform great. Great addition to my lawn tractor! Also, was somewhat easy to install, no problems and fits perfect.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Don't overthink it Its pretty easy to install if you don't make it harder than it really is. I ended up taking the safety chute off u wont need to have it on there anyway with the mulch cover installed just screw the nuts back on the studs and tighten them down so you don't lose em. I mowed once with out sharpening the blades and it worked nicely then i took them off and sharpened them worked great. With so many trees in my yard it chews them up nicely just make sure u don't mow up anything like sticks. In the end I'm glad i got the cover because i didnt want to get a bagger for my JD D 130.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Good Product, Poor Instructions This product does not live up to the John Deere name. The mulch cover is high quality and well designed. The problem is the poor instructions and the fastener clips. The clips defy logic and are unlike anything I ever encountered; commercial, industrial, or residential. I scratched the paint on my brand new D110 trying to install them. Bad form John Deere. The instructions are almost useless. The following is the method I used to install the cover: 1. Remove the deflector and inner guard using a 13mm socket and ratchet. 2. Install the mulch cover as illustrated on page 2 of the instructions. 3. Using a Dremel tool, I modified the clips to look and perform like a common safety pin. 4. Reinstall the deflector assembly.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Awful engineering I have spent an hour or so trying to mount this on my 42" mower. I'm not going to waste any more time on this thing. I watched many youtube videos of people showing how they mounted it. Most never did get it mounted correctly, some added hold downs, but most never actually got it to seal. Perhaps they don't realize that it needs to be sealed for good mulching. I don't know if the one I have is warped badly or what, but it does not fit properly around the ejection cover mounting and cannot even be forced to fit into the bottom groove of the deck on the right side. What an unbelievable piece of bad engineering, and by John Deere, who I always respected. So I am returning it and might try another one to see if this was just a one-off, but I don't think it was.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fits on 2018 E130 Perfectly [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Don't over think the design. I used a 13mm socket wrench to remove the shoot cover, installed this cover by first getting the tab in the back and then snapping into place the cover. It should over lap the top part of the deck. I put in the pins where the instructions said to. I left the shoot cover off as it was just getting in the way. I plan on leaving the plug in place for the life of the mower anyways.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great product, easier than the bagger, love it! I bought this and was worried about installing it as so many reviews stated poor instructions and difficult to install. For me, a 54 year old woman, it was not difficult to install at all. The only way it could of been easier was to have someone else do it. To keep the discharge guard up while installing you simply pull out the small metal one that’s under the larger plastic cover and it stays up and out of the way. I get a lot more leaves in my front yard, so I do put the bagger on and take them to my back yard to mulch and add nutrients to the back. So I am putting on and taking off the mulch kit and it has stayed strong and sturdy. I definitely recommend this, just make sure you get the right one for the size of your mower and mower deck.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Full time mulcher The Installation Instructions recommend leaving the deflector and inner guard in place while installing this mulching kit. I guess that works, if you plan to switch between mulching and not mulching. I mulch every time I mow, so I removed the deflector and inner guard and installed the mulch kit over the hole. It is not a very tight fit, so some clippings can blow by at the corners, but not very many.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works great, but difficult to install and align The rubber attachment broke on the old one causing it to get sucked under the lawnmower and mangled, so I needed a replacement. This new one worked great once I got it installed, but it was quite difficult to align and stretch the rubber attachments to mount it on the lawnmower. Be prepared for some frustration!
