I switched from my original blades to Gator G6 blades last year and like them well enough. I don't notice much difference in the clippings and their dispersal. But the Gator G6's were cheaper, so that's a plus. I recently bought a mulch kit for my 60d MMM and am not happy with it at all. Currently it is sitting in the box in my garage. $360 with tax and if I use it, I will have to grind down the blades so much (1/4" off each end) to use it, I find it unacceptable. The directions say you might have to grind them, but 1/2" total per blade???? Now my MMM is older as I have a 1026R, so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it. I think you're making the right choice and just trying the Gator blades first.

I'd have to look again at the installation instructions CP but for now I can say that I honestly don't remember seeing anything about that, nor was there an issue with fitment. That's too bad though, it truly does a very good job.

I’ll have to look, but it was the last step in installation and it seemed like it was portrayed as only possibly being an issue, well for me it’s a huge issue.

My solution is to just buy an X730 with MulchControl. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji1303][emoji1303]

Ok so Pat spurred me on to look at the book again. He’s right (don’t let it go to your head[emoji23]), no mention of grinding them down. I believe I read here in another thread about someone having to take a tiny bit off.

That mulch kit is sure different than mine. Pic of the components - and a bit less money at $232.

Yep, it sure is. I’d thought about offering it for sale, but it’s not practical to ship.....it’s one heavy box.
