Mcs Chutes
Power Flow chute and blowerHopper, chute, and blowerThe Power Flow chute is required, along with the high-performance Power Flow blower, to use the 2-bag Power Flow material collection system. The chute includes a convenient handle and a fill indicator that tells the operator when the bags are getting full.One chute works with several vehicle applications. Trim lines on the chute are referenced in the instructions so the chute can be cut to the proper length for the vehicle/mower application.
Mcs Hoppers
Hopper and included weight bracket and weightsWeight bracket and weights6.5-bu (229-L) rear bagger, chute, and blowerThe 6.5-bu (229-L) rear bagger efficiently collects material from the mower deck:A Power Flow™ blower (ordered separately) on the end of the mower deck moves material up the chute (ordered separately) and into the hopper.A weight bracket and four 18-lb (8.2-kg) weights are included for installation on the front of the vehicle to help counterbalance the weight of the hopper.Removing bag from 6.5-bu (229-L) hopperRemoving bag from 6.5-bu (229-L) hopperThe hopper design provides efficient bagging performance, clean operation, and easy-to-empty bags:Two durable bags give a generous, 6.5-bu (229-L) capacity.The bags lift out for easy emptying.Efficient chute provides a smooth flow of material to reduce the chance of plugging.The chute and Power Flow blower must be ordered separately.Standard mower blades are used for bagging.Air exhaust duct directs air from the hopper back and toward the ground for clean operation.Convenient latch makes opening and closing the hopper easy.NOTE: Appropriate Power Flow blower, chute, and attachment bar are required (ordered separately).NOTE: The 6.5-bu (229-L) hopper is not compatible with 60-in. (152-cm) and 62-in. (157-cm) Mower Decks because their larger size and ability to fill the hopper more quickly reduces the usefulness of the bagging system.
Mcs Power Flow Blowers

(122-cm) Accel Deep™ Mower is used with the hopper and chute to provide a very effective material collection system. A 6.5-bu (229-L) hopper and chute must be ordered separately to complete this material collection system.
HP Power Flow blower assemblyThe high-performance (HP) Power Flow blower assembly for the 54-in. (137-cm) Accel Deep™ Mower is used with the hopper and chute to provide a very effective material collection system. A 6.5-bu (229-L) hopper and chute must be ordered separately to complete this material collection system.

Mulch Kits
MulchControl advantages and benefitsZ535M ZTrak™ with Accel Deep 48A MowerX730 Tractor with 48A Mower DeckThe MulchControl attachment for the 48A Mower Deck makes mulching more practical for many mowing situations because it not only does an excellent job of mulching but it also allows the mower to be easily converted for times when it is more desirable to side discharge or collect the lawn material. Advantages of mulching grass clippings include:A beautiful looking lawnGrass clippings not blown onto the operator, driveways, or flower bedsLess fertilizer useElimination of the effort needed to dispose of clippingsHow MulchControl worksMulchControl baffle open (similar mower from X700 Series Tractor shown)MulchControl baffle closed (similar mower from X700 Series Tractor shown)MulchControl is an innovative, simple design that is easy to use and maintain:The MulchControl attachment includes baffles to control the flow of material under the deck.The MulchControl baffle, or divider, between the left and middle spindles is about half way down. The height is designed to balance the mulching and side-discharge modes.When the MulchControl baffle is open, the divider between the left and middle spindles passes a portion of the material to the discharge opening, along with the material from the middle and right spindle areas.When the MulchControl baffle is closed, this material stays within the deck and gets chopped into mulch and deposited in the turf.MulchControl baffle closedMulchControl handleThe MulchControl handle is located on top of the mower deck and used to open and close the discharge baffle.The operator is required to get off of the machine in order to engage or disengage mulch mode.Changing from mulching to side discharging or vice versa takes only a few seconds.MulchControl is well-suited to the following mowing situations:Usually mulch, but side discharge when grass gets too longUsually side-discharge, but would like to be able to close the chute to control clippingsAlways mulch a main lawn, but often side discharge secondary lawnsBag clippings, but want to go farther before emptying bagsWith 48A and 54A Mower Decks, the MulchControl baffle can be opened or closed with the Power Flow™ blower installed. The Power Flow blower will run without material when the baffle is closed.MulchControl puts the operator in control of the clippings. The operator can have all the benefits of mulching with the ability to easily change to side discharge or bagging when needed.MulchControl limitationsWhile in the side-discharge mode, MulchControl will still mulch about one third of the material. Therefore, the side-discharge mode is essentially a partial-mulch mode. This can be an advantage when side discharging or bagging, as it helps to reduce the amount of material being discharged. Other times this could work as a disadvantage:When cutting strong southern grasses, such as Zoysia and BermudaWhen cutting in wet, high-growth conditions, such as those found in the Pacific Northwest United StatesWhen optimum bagging and lawn clean-up is desired

Mulching attachment for 62C/62D/62X MowerThe mulching attachment controls the flow of grass clippings during the mulching process to provide excellent performance. The mulch plug is made up of two halves. Most side discharge and material collection jobs can be done by only removing the right half, leaving the left half in place.NOTE: BM21890 mulching attachment is used on the 62C/62X Mowers as well as the 62D Drive-Over Deck for compact utility tractors.
