Advantages of mulching grass clippings include:</p> <ul> <li>A beautiful looking lawn</li> <li>Grass clippings not blown onto the operator, driveways, or flower beds</li> <li>Less fertilizer required</li> <li>Elimination of the effort needed to dispose of clippings</li> </ul> <p>MulchControl is an innovative, simple design that is easy to use and maintain:</p> <ul> <li>The MulchControl attachment includes baffles to control the flow of material under the deck.</li> <li>Mulching blades to give a more complete mulching job are included.</li> <li>The left mower blade area is completely enclosed and optimized for mulching and will mulch even when the mower is in the side-discharge mode.</li> <li>Baffles around the center and right blades are optimized for mulching when the discharge baffle is closed.</li> <li>A MulchControl kit is not available for 48HC mower decks.</li> </ul> <h5>MulchControl operation</h5> <div class="seccion-images"> <div> <img src="https://salesmanual.deere.com/customer/sales/salesmanual/images/NA/lawn_equipment/features_attachment/z500/r4d121072_mulch_cntrl_311x275.jpg" alt="MulchControl handle (shown on similar Z700)"> <span class="caption">MulchControl handle (shown on similar Z700)</span> </div> </div> <p>The optional MulchControl attachment comes with a handle on top of the mower deck that is used to open and close the discharge baffle:</p> <ul> <li>The operator is required to get off of the machine in order to engage or disengage mulch mode.</li> <li>Changing from mulching to side discharge or vice versa with the hand lever takes only a few seconds.</li> </ul> <p>MulchControl is well-suited to the following mowing situations:</p> <ul> <li>Usually mulch, but side discharge when grass gets too long</li> <li>Usually side discharge, but would like to be able to close the chute to control clippings</li> <li>Always mulch a main lawn, but often side discharge secondary lawns</li> <li>Bag clippings, but want to go farther before emptying bags</li> </ul> <p>MulchControl puts the operator in control of the clippings. The operator can have all the benefits of mulching with the ability to easily change to side-discharge or bagging when needed.</p> <h5>MulchControl limitations</h5> <div class="seccion-images"></div> <p>While in the side-discharge mode, MulchControl will still mulch about one-third of the material. Therefore, the side-discharge mode is essentially a partial mulch mode. This can be an advantage when side discharging or bagging, as it helps reduce the amount of material being discharged. Other times this could work as a disadvantage:</p> <ul> <li>When cutting strong southern grasses, such as Zoysia and Bermuda</li> <li>When cutting in wet, high-growth conditions, such as those found in the Pacific Northwest United States</li> <li>When optimum bagging and lawn cleanup is desired</li> </ul> <h5>Optional 6.5-bu (229-L) ZTrak Z500 Series material collection system (MCS) (not available for 60-in.
