The Toro Z Master 48-inch 120-2401 Recycler Kit is designed to enhance the performance of Toro Z Master mowers by providing efficient mulching capabilities. This kit is engineered to fit seamlessly with the 48-inch mower deck, ensuring optimal cutting and recycling of grass clippings.

This design facilitates the breakdown of clippings into smaller particles that quickly decompose and nourish the soil.

Installation of the Recycler Kit is straightforward, with components that are designed for easy attachment to the existing mower deck without requiring extensive modifications. The kit is compatible with a range of Toro Z Master models, making it a versatile option for landscapers and homeowners seeking to improve their lawn care routine.
