How will this mulch cover improve my mowing results?

Installing the C-Tzu mulch cover keeps clippings inside the cutting chamber long enough to be finely shredded and dispersed across the turf, which helps return nutrients and reduces visible clippings on the lawn. The snug fit minimizes clump formation and improves the overall finish of each pass.

• Promotes finer mulching by retaining clippings for extra cutting passes
• Prevents grass from ejecting sideways or into visible rows
• Compatible with common 42" deck setups on Husqvarna/Craftsman models
