HURRICANE PLUS™ MULCH SYSTEM
TAKE MULCHING TO A NEW LEVEL
The Hurricane Plus™ features a patented design that takes mulching to a new level. With “Eye of the Hurricane” mulching plates, bolt-in baffles, special Eliminator™ mulching blades and a side-discharge block-off plate, the Hurricane Plus system cuts and recuts clippings into a fine mulch before dispersing them into the lawn.
The “Eye of the Hurricane” mulch plates that keep clippings in the path of the Eliminator blades, and this design ensures clippings are finely shredded and forcefully scattered down toward the soil, returning vital nutrients to the turf. Not only does this save you time and keep the lawn healthy, but it also benefits the environment by reducing landfill waste.
Each Hurricane kit includes a set of serrated “Eliminator” mulching blades with a high lift, “double-cut” edge for quick, thorough shredding of grass clippings and debris. Vital nutrients are put back into the soil.
The Scag® Hurricane Plus Mulch System fits all Velocity Plus™ Cutter Decks.
