Which one is right for you? It's a question asked by many homeowners – should I bag or mulch? Well, the answer actually depends on what you’re trying to accomplish with your lawn. |
|
Collecting your grass clippings serves many purposes for both the appearance and the health of your lawn. To quickly pick-up debris, such as sticks, leaves and grass clippings and keep a uniform appearance during the thick of growing season, bagging is definitely the solution. If you’re rehabbing your yard, you’ll want to bag the clippings so as not to disperse weed seeds or any diseased clippings. At the end of the season, using a bagger can really help make fall leaf cleanup a breeze. Additionally, if you compost, bagging your grass clippings offers easy access to a great source of compostable material.

Much like bagging, mulching your grass clippings can serve to improve your lawn’s appearance.
Mulch mowing allows clippings to be cut finely enough so that they can’t be seen when redistributed into the lawn which returns nitrogen-rich nutrients to your lawn. This feeds your lawn and can reduce the amount of fertilizer you need. The MulchControl™ System from John Deere is the easy way to mulch while you mow. This exclusive technology is available with One-Touch Technology on the John Deere X350 Select Series Riding Lawn Tractor with a 42-in or 48-in Accel Deep™ Mower Deck and other Select Series mowers.
MulchControl™ Kits, with the pull-of-a-lever technology, are available on S240 Riding Mowers with Accel Deep™ Mower Decks, Select Series Mowers, Signature Series Mowers, and all Residential ZTrak™ Mowers.
All MulchControl™ Kits from John Deere include mulching blades for best grass mulching results.
A few tips:
- Follow the “one-third” rule when mulch mowing, taking no more off than the top third of the grass blade. Fast-growing conditions will warrant more frequent mowing.
- Mulching works better when the grass is dry.
- If tall or wet grass conditions result in unsightly clumps, your MulchControl™ System should be used in side-discharge mode.
-
If conditions warrant using your MulchControl™ System in side-discharge mode, clippings are likely to be visible for a few days as they decay.
- Make sure your blades are sharp. Sharp blades help ensure a precise, quality cut (bring your blades in today to get them sharpened!)

Happy 100th Birthday to the Model D |
|
It's another milestone summer for John Deere. May 30, 2023, marked 100 years since production of the first John Deere Model D tractor in Waterloo. Waterloo produced the Model D tractors for 30-years, the longest tractor production run in John Deere history. Production of the Model 'D' began on May 30, 1923 and end in 1953, with introduction of the Model R. Of the Model D, Chris Boyens, Brand Standards Manager for John Deere, says "It is one of the most iconic Deere tractors, being the first to offer the true green and yellow trade dress, and, for being the on the production line for over 30-years. This was a major influence on, not only Deere, but, the American farm brought us, truly into the tractor age of farming." The hand start, two-cylinder tractor, originally cost about $1,000. Waterloo Deere employees manufactured 160,000 Model D's over the 30-year run. John Deere Historian, Neil Dahlstrom, author of the book, Tractor Wars, adds, "It's the first green and yellow tractor to carry the John Deere name, which is incredibly significant." "The Waterloo Boy came before, but it had some bits of red it, so, the Model D was really iconic in the world of John Deere. That's why it's the logo of the John Deere Tractor & Engine Museum." The 'D' replaced the original Waterloo Boy, and the company advertised the 'D' as 'The Daddy of all John Deere Tractors." |
