As some of you know/may remember, i just bought a new x380. I had the integrated mulching installed with it and they also put the mulching blades on it.
My question is around which blades I should be using now....since i'm not mulching anything but the grass, should i have the regular blades on it or are the mulching blades just as good? Would the regular blades give me a cleaner cut?
Thanks

Re: Mulching or regular blades?
I've always mulched, but have never had mulching blades. Long ago, I'd just mow and let the grass shoot out the side. Now, I use the cover instead of the bag attachment, so the grass gets cut several additional times before dropping.
If I had mulching blades, I'd use them just to get some additional mulching to the grass, but I don't know if it's needed if you're using a mulching configuration for the mower.

Re: Mulching or regular blades?
Congrats on the X380! I use the gator blades on my 455 to pretty good effect, my lawn is able to digest my clippings at a better rate than the standard high lift JD blades. Though I'm sure Deere's mulching blades work well too.
