How does the C-Tzu mulch cover improve mowing results?

The cover seals the discharge opening of a 54" stamped deck so grass clippings stay under the deck and are cut into finer pieces before returning to the lawn. That chopped material decomposes to feed soil and reduce clippings on the surface, leaving a cleaner finish and less cleanup.

• Prevents side discharge for neat, uniform stripes and a manicured look.
• Enables mulching mode by directing clippings back into the blade path.
• Reduces bagging time and trips to the yard waste bin.
