You convinced me to buy one, thanks.
The mulch kit will fail and allow grass to come out the bottom of the chute. Bad design. I bought the mulch kit last year and very disappointed. Nice mower but bad mulch kit. Cub cadet any fix for this issue?
Outstanding
There’s probably a slower way to do that but it would take a lot of thought and several coffee breaks.
Thank goodness I bought xt2 with fast attach blades.
Same
Nothing says "cover yourself for liability purposes" like removing the entire deck just to change the blades.
Should have just called the video "removing and installing the mower deck"
🤣
Yes do what the guy that watches wresting says.
You made removing those nuts look so easy. I purchased my XT1 L50 from a dealer and removing those 15/16 inch nuts were a bear 🐻.
Ha lol
I had to hit mines with a 1/2 impact wrench. Hope you put a bit of anti seize so that you don't have to go thru the same ordeal next time.
No joke!!!
Agreed. Make sure you have a helper bar/pipe on hand! First thing I did when I bought a house was buy a Cub Cadet mower and install the mulching kit. My brother and I had a heluva time trying to turn the nuts off of the blade, but thankfully the pervious owner of the house left a long pipe in the garage, and the extra leverage did the trick!
I have this model could I just add the mulching cover without changing the blades. How would the results be?
Why does my plug not sit all the way down? Am I tightening the one bolt too much?
thanks for the comments. Now I dont feel like I am losing my mind trying to get the mulch plug to install properly.
I see this is for the stamped deck. Will it fit the welded deck too?
Fabricated deck has a different kit.
Why does Cub Cadet paint over the cutting edge of the mulching blades with thick yellow paint? Nobody can get those to cut grass. I ground the paint off of mine. Doesn’t that mower have a PTO cable, and spring that need to be detached in order to remove the deck? Only saw you remove three pins???
Yes!!! So gd frustrating that nothing said anything about that. I’m crawling around on the gd gravel trying to figure out why the company that make the video for their tractor, can’t even have the correct information in the video.
Doesn’t show how to remove mower deck on the 42” XT Enduro Series when there’s a brace bar on the mower pulley under engine. It isn’t bolted on but welded on…. Any suggestions…..
I prefer to leave the deck on when changing blades. Just jack up the front with a chain hoist (carefully) & there's plenty of room.
@@dbdouglas thanks!! That’s what I ended up doing!! Appreciate the response!!
@@417jumps3 Glad to be helpful!
You do not have to remove the deck to change blades.
I like to change them as someone does a wheelie
I have an xt2 from last year and decided to get the mulch kit. I installed it today. No manual came with it so I just put it on thinking I knew what I was doing. I installed it without the shute since im putting a mulch kit on!!!!!! Why would I need the shute?????? Welp the mulch cover doesn't even COVER the whole area. At the top there's some gaps so all it did was throw grass right back on me and the tractor. Wow great design. The whole point of me getting the mulch kit was so I didn't have to have the stupid shute on. There should be no gaps so it can chop everything up really good.
I have pics and a video.
I want the chute off if I have the mulching kit. How?
Just got my new X1T today and am wondering the same thing. Did you ever take yours off?
I removed my chute, bad idea. The mulch plug DOES NOT fit securely over the deck. It certainly won't fly off, but it's not creating a seal. The chute helps keep the mulch plug down so that clippings aren't sputtering all over the place. I had green bits all over me, my water bottle and down my shirt after 20 minutes of mowing! The chute both puts some weight on the mulch plug to help it keep clippings in, but also channels clippings that do escape out and away from you.
Can take off and leave off the chute deflector once the mulching kit is installed?
I don't know, but it would be good as the deflector gets in the way.
I was wondering the same thing. It really gets in the way.
You don't want to...the chute helps from clippings trying to work their way out through spaces in the plug and clogging stuff underneath. This video is the correct way to install the mulch cover with the chute resting on top of it. Naturally you can jack the mower up to change the blades, but wear thick gloves if you have to hold the blade while trying to get the nut off or have pieces of wood to block the blades while loosening. ;-)
I removed mine when I installed the Mulching Plug ( drill some holes and add zip ties)it'll help secure it 100%
@@user-zh4zm5ei6x I removed my chute so that I can cut closer on the right hand side, but ended up with a huge mess since the mulch plug was sputtering all over the place. That said, I'm unwilling to drill a hole in my deck so I may skip the zip ties and just replace the chute.
Do I need the chute when I install the plug?
My dealer said to leave the chute on.
No
Better change that belt while you're at it
The Mulch Plug design is a major fault. Long grass and/or wet grass, pushes the Plug upwards not allowing it to mulch properly. it needs a catch or something on the bottom to stop this Plug lifting.
I agree. Do not understand why the mulch plug was not designed to create a secure seal on the deck, thus allowing for removal of the chute. Seems like if they designed and included just one extra fastener to secure the deck lid to the mulch plug, that would have allowed for removal of the chute. Removing the chute reduces the overall size of the mower, improves the ability to cut close on the right hand side, and just makes the mower look a lot cleaner.
Remove the whole deck ???
Why ???
How would you do the job then?
Would be nice if these weren't made out of cheap plastic.
Mulching plate is useless, doesn't stay
Mulch kit is garbage. There is no support for the bottom of plug and it will blow out where plug meets bottom of deck lip.
2 things: 1) The music is obnoxious and way too loud. Good lord stop with the loud overused stock music already. And 2) why did you abandon the easy mulch plug from the past? This new setup is a pain when the old plug & play mulch plug was awesome.
You work for cub cadet not the other way around quit askin questions pal
@@flavioshikaka What a nice comment
@@AimingWanderously i didnt ask for your opinion on the level of niceness contained in my comment. I know how nice it was. I made it.
All i know is dont come at cub cadet like that with some list of demands like your some type of david hasselhoff in germany star. Sit down shut up and let the overused stock music reverberate thru your soul.
@@flavioshikaka How nice
