.......It is deeper which should promote more lift and finer cutting.
Basically more room for regurgitation before the grass hits the chute for discharge. Other than that, it's a false sense of satisfaction for the dollar... Just like the 1/4" valving...

As has been pointed out here many times.. if one keeps their grass cut regularly within reason, there should be no need for mulching, raking, lifting, bagging, shagging, dragging, wagging or anything else "I-N-Ging." Just cut your grass..........daily if you have to... :eek: :D

I have the 54" Finecut on my BX24. Even on damp grass it doesn't leave much of a windrow and on dry grass that is cut once a week I can't see any reason I'd ever need the mulching kit or bagger.

One thing I wonder about is whether the additional height of the finecut makes it harder to get out from under the tractor. I seem to have to wiggle the deck around several times to get the bolts above the slots for the back links to fit through higher parts of the undercarriage. Makes me think the non-finecut might slide out easier since it is shorter.

I have the 60" on a BX2200. At first I used the blower/bagger, but sold it to Junkman. I then put on the mulching kit. We have wet winter, dry hot summer. Grass shoots up in March while still too wet to cut. The first couple of cuts in April do leave windrows, but after the growth rate slows, soil drys, and I can take grass height down some, the windrowing stops and no thatch is left. The mulch kit is great as the nutrients go straight back to the soil which eliminates the need to fertilize as well as the time it took to put on and empty the bagger. It helps to keep the mulch blades sharp.

I have a BX 23 with 60'' Reg mower.
Also have a BX1500 with 48'' Reg Mower.
Both mowers work great but would have liked to have had the 54'' Reg Mower on the BX1500.
I guess the CC GT2554 with the 54'' deck spoiled me on that.

What ever happened to the old junkman? Haven't seen a post from him in a number of years. Is he still around or has he gone to the great beyond?
