I have almost convinced myself in purchasing the hustler sport ztr, but had one last issue. Does anyone have any experience with the mulching capability of this machine. My oklahoma yard is bermuda if that makes any difference.

I have the mulch kit on my Sport 42, and it works great. I live in central IL, and to be honest am not 100% sure of grass types. I think it is bluegrass and ryegrass...

We had a very wet past year, and it was difficult to keep up with the mowing. It was twice a week pretty much all season.

Like with any mulching, tall grass can be a challenge. The cut quality was always excellent, but occassionally (and only in tall, thick grass) I would have some clumping when turning around - nothing that an extra passs doesn't take care of. The mulching also causes a lot of grass build up on the mower (deck, wheels, etc.)
