46 inch mulch kit
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works OK. The issue is that it doesn't stay tightly attached and gets a lot of grass stuck in the gaps and you need to manually remove it. Will modify with a few drilled holes and Zip ties.

Missing a Piece
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This kit needs the metal rod the kits from a few years ago had. It connects by the wing nut to hold the back of the blocking plate in place. If that was included, would rate this 5 stars.

A good option
Based on the reviews I expected there to be more issues with the cover but it worked just fine. Overall happy with the package, it does leave a little windrow down the middle when I used at at 3in deck height no matter what speed I went.

46" mulching kit
I bought this at the start of the mowing season. The plug sucks. Never really sealed very good to the deck. Now its popping out of the deck blowing grass straight out of the deck. Blades seem fine but deck plug really bad Quality.

Works fine and delivered on time
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far so good, the other reviews talk about leaks and other issues like bad fit. I dunno about that, i left the discharge chute on like you're supposed to and had no problems.

Simple Installation, excellent end product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Delivered on time with easy installation instructions. The blades themselves do an incredible job; you would never know that I don't gather the clippings after mowing my lawn.

Mulching kit inferior
The “plug” doesn’t fit or seal very well. Lots of grass and dust comes through it. I drilled holes to use electrical tie-wraps to snug it up. Also used tape and foam sealer. Haven’t had it very long so will see how it goes.

Mulching Blade Review
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Mulching blade works great however the plug causes too much build up. I would keep the standard blow out flap on the mower. When I did that it did a great job!!

Like it
Easy to use/assemble. Cuts grass good and chops leaves good when not a large amount. If ground is covered with leaves, then two passes are needed, and then leaves are gone. Haven’t used it in long grass.

Does exactly why is supposed to do
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had purchased the bedding system when I bought the lawnmower. Did not work well for my grass so I purchased this mulching system and it works fantastic.

poor design
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not sure what's wrong with this thing but it believes mulch out underneath it and doesn't seem to mulch things very well this is not a 46 inch stranger

wrong mulching plug.
The mulching plug sold by cub cadet is the old one that was for A stamped deck. It is worthless when mounted to the fabricated deck of my 2024 46 inch ultima deck. Where can I get one for the fab deck?

Far less than expected for the price
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first Cub Cadet riding mower (XT2 LX46). Have always owned orange riding mowers and have been mostly pleased but there are service issues now in the area so decided to try Cub Cadet. I never gave much thought to the orange mower mulch plug but after experiencing the plug of the Cub Cadet Xtreme Mulching Kit I have a greater appreciation for the orange mower design. Namely, it worked. The Cub Cadet mulch plug by design is poor. Fit is loose, cut grass blows out at several places causing grass clippings to accumulate on the deck unnecessarily, and it leaves a streak of cut grass behind. I, like others per recorded reviews, have made several alterations to it to make it perform to my expectations. My research prior to purchase was only into the mower specifications and subsequent performance reviews. The only thought on the mulching kit was that it seemed expensive but I am committed to mulching. So, please tell me Cub Cadet that you are engineering an improved more effective design of your mulch plug that we will see soon.

Mulching blades
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Blades made of good steel as i normally sharpen my blades after 4 or 5 cuts and i took them off to sharpen them and they were still sharp

46 xtreme mulch kit
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works perfect. I’ve seen some negative replies but I have none. The plug screws down snuggly to prevent grass/ leaves from exiting.

Great Blades
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great blades. The cover for grass exit is poorly made. It does not fit close or tight.
Grass gets hung up in it and blows thru it.

Decent mulch kit
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Mulch kit works pretty nice. You have to pull it back to clear any clogged grass which is normal. Only had on for 4 cuts so far.

Mulching kit.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to install. Three small holes left open on top of deck though. I fabricated a cover to keep debris from shooting up.

OK but could be better.
It does a reasonable job of mulching but the plug doesn't fit very well. The poor fit causes the chute deflector not to fully close so it rubs on the deck idler wheel.

Works could be better.
Easy to install but as others have mentioned it does not fit as tight as I would have liked. Grass build up by the plug needs a tighter fit or a different design.

Needs improvement
Plug seems to be right size, however grass clippings pile up along the bottom forcing the plug upwards, and clippings also escape thru the top. Do not recommend.
