Abstract
A mulching assembly for a mower deck that has one or more cutting chambers includes a channeling plate in each cutting chamber. The channeling plate is configured to optimize air and clipping flow through the cutting chamber for mulching and dispersal of the clippings without disrupting airflow and consequently creating obstructions in the high-pressure outer region of the cutting chamber. Each channeling plate is spaced from the outer perimeter of the cutting chamber, extends in a generally non-radial direction generally parallel to the bottom surface of the cutter deck, and is mounted to the deck directly above the cutting blade in each cutting chamber.
