Dixon Blade

This is a genuine OEM mulching blade sourced directly from the manufacturer; it is used on push mowers and riding lawn mowers. A mulching blade is used in place of a regular cutting blade to cut grass clippings finer so that the grass falls back onto the lawn and decomposes. Mulching is beneficial to lawns in many ways. It keeps the soil cooler and reduces water evaporation, meaning the lawn needs less water to stay green. Grass clippings can contain over 70 percent water. Mulching also provides added nutrients to the soil. Mulching blades are also time savers. There are no grass clippings to rake and dispose of after mowing the lawn.A wrench is needed to remove the cutting blade and install the mulching blade. The mower should be on a flat surface with wheel chocks to prevent rolling. Lift the mower deck with a jack to access the cutting blades. Wear gloves to protect the hands. Remove the cutting blade. Install the mulching blade. Lower the mower and remove the chocks. This 46-inch mulching blade is made of metal and sold as an individual unit.

Mulching blades circulate the grass longer when clipping so that the clippings are smaller. These smaller grass clippings are perfect for mulching because their smaller size lends them to faster decomposing, which in turn puts the nutrients into the soil faster.A new mulching blade may be needed if the blade has been broken or damaged in any way.
