There is conflicting information about whether the mulching insert is included or not. Is something else required for mulching? The reason I asked is, in the comparison chart above, it states "Rear bag (mulching insert and side discharge chute sold...

The mulching insert was included with mine. It's a stopper that prevents clippings from going through the opening to the bag.

my mower is a later model,self propelled and a mulcher. It has an opening on the top of the mower deck that the bagger fits onto. It seems to me that amazon had a bunch of cross refrences on model numbers, but it doesn't look like the one that I purchased will fit a side discharge.

It has the option to have the side discharge, or to collect into the bag on the back. So yes, I think that does make it a mulching mower. We don't use the bag, so I can't say how well that works, but the mower has been a real gem otherwise.

To mulch, you need the cover. Otherwise the clippings just get ejected like having been cut with regular blades. With the cover on, the clippings are smaller than they would be without it. But, you have to cut more often. Mulching over long grass takes forever because you have to go so slow, and the clippings still pile up on top of the grass.

Absolutely, I use it this way in areas where the mulch is needed or where the alternative is just to leave the leaves where they fall. You should also get additional bags. I have four.

I have the blades that came with the D125 w/42" mower and I put the mulcher unit on before I ever cut anything; I was impressed, no piles of grass, and no strain on the machine! My machine came with the "3 in 1" blades which means cut, mulch, and bag. They will do a good job.

Yes, you probably have to invest in a bagging system made for your mower. I purchased this bag for my riding mower and was not happy. The bag when full is so heavy one man cant move the bag. Its too big, the material is far too heavy, they need to use a light wt. material that will not fray whilebeing dragged behind the mower. Good Luck!

I agree w T. Waltz. This bag is for gardening waste, weeds, branches & grass clippings but NOT as an attachment to a mower. Please, call Tori to obtain the correct model/part #, then return to Amazon to see if it's available. GOOD LUCK!

Mulch exits from bottom right hand chute (when you are facing the chipper branch portal). I do not use a bag instead chipping directly into my meadow grass.

Yes. The side discharge adapter attaches at the back of the mower in place of the rear bag. When you register check the "want side discharge" box. It's free.

I purchased this for a mower that I obtained and I thought the mower used a bag, it turns out my model does not. The model I have is only a mower and no catch system. However, I do have a side discharge mower that does use a side out bag such as the one your asking about. So judging by the construction of the item, I would say that if you know your mower is definitely one that has a side discharge and uses a catch bag, then this will most likely work. The item comes with instructions and it does not take more then 20 minutes to assemble the item. This of course is assumed you will analyze directions and take your time.

I have a mulching mower and do not use a rear bag mower, but from my experience I do not see why you could not use it with a rear bag mower. The Toro lawn striper can be adjusted for placement. I have been very pleased with mine.

I would rather buy a blower/mulcher in 1. It will be faster. Just vacuum the leaves and empty the bag into a pile or the trash when full.

No carry bag with mine. It comes with attachments for soft or baseballs. Not a chute. Just a ring for each, to have someone feed the pitches through to the batter. The auto chutes are expensive and sold separately.

I am using the normal discharge chute because I general cut very high grass. I am sure they will work well with normal grass for mulching.

Yes, the chute was included. Everything you need to make it work was included. It's been working like a champ. Definitely a must have
