JD Tricycler Mulching Attachment for 72\"

Hi everyone

I have a 2002 JD 4410 e-hydro with 72" mid mount mower and 430 FEL with turf tires and I mow four acres. I am considering buying the 72" tricycler mulching attachment for my mower does anyone else have the mulcher on a 72", I saw other posts for a 60", the part number bundle for the 72" is #BM18151 and runs around $250 for the baffles and three blades. Just trying to help with the tracking in of the grass clipping when doing normal side discharging from the dog and children traffic in the house, I have a lawn boy mulching attachment on a push mower and like it other than the last two summers have been extremely wet mowing seasons, just trying to keep the two acres of grass around the house looking neater and save on using the gas blower cleanup on a 250' drive way. PS I have alot of leaves in the fall and thought the mulcher would be better instead of the traditional side discharge way of blowing it in the middle and keep going over the leaves to turn them to powder, this is time intensive.

Thanks,

bigteslid, i also have a 4410 with a 72"mmm equipted with a tricycler mulching attachment. it does a pretty good job with the leaves in the fall but if you leave it on full time you have to mow the grass more often because if you let it get to long you end up with a lot of clumps. if you normally mow once a week you might be forced to do it every 5 days instead. a good investment also if you dont have one for cleaning your deck or for working on it or storing it over the winter is a set of "moweraxle kit" from larry. you can see a picture of my deck on his website, moweraxle.com hope this helps. regards, bud
