    Question:
    Mulching blade for the Husqvarna HU700L 22-Inch 160cc Honda GCV160 Gas Powered 3-in-1 RWD Self-Propelled Lawn Mower?
    Details:

    I just purchased a Husqvarna HU700L 22-Inch 160cc Honda GCV160 Gas Powered 3-in-1 RWD Self-Propelled Lawn Mower. This mower is useless as a mulching mower. It clogs and stalls incessantly.

    After seeing the 3in1 blade it ships with I understand why - its too flat. I called customer service and they gave me part number 406713 as a mulching blade for this mower. I ordered this and discovered that it isn't keyed properly to fit on the HU700l. Very frustrating.

    See pictures here : http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0057IO7OA

    Is there a proper mulching blade that will fit this mower or have i just wasted $400?

    Thanks in advance!

    It is upsetting that you are experiencing this kind of problem.

    The blade that came on your mower is a 3n1 blade and was designed that way. The blade is actually a top performer when used in the correct conditions.

    When recycling / mulching, do not cut more than 1" of grass off at a time this may even require that you mow your grass twice a week in the growing season. Also make sure the grass is dry give at least 2 days after a rain or after watering the grass if possible.

    There are no alternative blades for this model.
