I'm a homeowner using a 52" Liberty Z with the Hurricane Mulch Kit and Eliminator blades, but i'm getting clumpy, mushy mulch when mowing damp or tall grass. Thinking about swapping to standard blades with the mulch kit to fix this , but not sure if it'll help. Mowing twice, side discharging or mowing more often aren't really options for me. Heard Exmark mulch blades might work too. Any tips or experiences?

yeah, swapping to standard blades with the mulch kit might actually make the problem worse because they don't have the same cutting surface.Thinking about swapping to standard blades with the mulch kit to fix this , but not sure if it'll help.
you know, I've had great success with Gator G6 mulching blades. They're known for creating more lift and a finer cut, which can help a lot with clumping in tougher conditions. They're a popular upgrade for exactly this kind of issue
Thanks for the tip on the Gator G6s. Do you run them with the stock deck settings, or did you have to adjust the heighht or rpm to really get the best mulch performance?yeah, swapping to standard blades with the mulch kit might actually make the problem worse because they don't have the same cutting surface.

When you switched to the high lift blades with the mulch kit, did you notice any change in fuel use or deck performance?Switching to standard high-lift blades with the mulch kit helped me get a cleaner cut and less buildup. If mowing more often isn't an option, blade choice really makes a difference. Hope that helps!
