Product Information
Full details
This B&Q 66 cm mulching kit is designed for garden tractor owners seeking to naturally fertilize their lawns. It transforms your mower into a mulching machine, finely shredding grass clippings and returning them to the soil as nutrients. A key caveat is ensuring compatibility with your specific tractor model before purchase. The kit includes a plug to block the collection tunnel, allowing grass to be retained, cut multiple times, and deposited back onto the lawn.

FAQs
What is the main benefit of using a mulching kit?
The main benefit is natural lawn fertilization, as finely shredded grass clippings return nutrients to the soil, promoting healthier growth and reducing the need for artificial fertilizers.
How do I know if this mulching kit is compatible with my mower?
You must check the compatibility specifications for this 66 cm kit against your specific B&Q garden tractor model. Contacting B&Q customer service is recommended for confirmation.
Can I use this kit in wet conditions?
It is not recommended to mulch very wet grass. Wet grass tends to clump and can clog the mower deck, leading to less effective mulching and potential issues.
How often should I mow when using the mulching kit?
For best results, mow regularly, typically once a week during the growing season. This prevents the grass from becoming too long, allowing the kit to work effectively.
What is the weight of the mulching kit?
The mulching kit weighs approximately 4.188782978 pounds.
How do I clean the mulching kit?
After each use, clear grass clippings from the plug and mower deck. A brush or compressed air can be used. Store in a dry place.
Will this kit save me time?
While it eliminates the need to bag or dispose of grass clippings, it might require more frequent mowing to maintain optimal mulching conditions, potentially balancing out time savings.
Troubleshooting
Grass clippings are not being mulched finely
Ensure the mulching plug is securely fitted. Check that the mower blades are sharp. Avoid cutting excessively long or wet grass.
Kit does not fit the mower deck
Double-check the compatibility specifications against your garden tractor model. Contact customer service for confirmation or potential alternative solutions.
Uneven grass cutting after installation
Inspect the mower blades for damage or wear. Ensure the mulching kit is installed evenly and does not obstruct blade rotation.
Excessive clumping of grass on the lawn
Reduce the height of your cut or mow more frequently. Ensure the grass is not wet when mulching.
