I mulch the leaves also, using my walk-behind Toro. It does a good job. Usually have to do the heaviest areas about two or three times over a couple of weeks.
I'm sure most already know, but if you can, wait until the leaves are fairly dry before mulching. There is much less of a chance of leaving bunched areas of partially mulched leaves.

I block off the deck and mulch when dry and often. Glad this subject came up. I needed to get the plate out for the 44c and for the life of me I can't find it. So I just made a new one for the 50c deck.
FYI source of sheet metal. Few years back I needed some sheet metal for making a storage box for a trailer. Checked the box stores and was pricey. I worked at a electrical supply and bought a panelboard box. I think the size was 24"x60"x5" and 16ga. the price was only $10. This is the metal I used for the block off plate. |

For most of my adult life my back gives me fits when raking and or shoveling. Our township collects leaves every fall. All you have to do is collect them along the highway and they take them away. For many years I mowed my yard, my mom's yard and the next door neighbors yard. More than a few trees were involved also. I used my mom's lawn sweeper for years but had to empty it every few minutes. I finally had it with leaf collection and invested in a DR lawn vac. I use my 2084 and a 54 in deck. I can use that puppy for my whole yard till it is full. Only problem with that is it is very dusty going with the wind. I do like how those leaves clean up the underside of the deck.

My leaf season started last week. So far, 10 wagon loads to the compost pile. Probably 30 loads until complete in early December unless it snows. TracVac is about 20 years old and works great. Just watch the wind direction so as not to be covered with dust from the top of the wagon.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
