I have an older Murray riding mower. It is 40" or 42". I can bag with this mower or remove the bagger and put the mulch kit on and mulch the clippings. My question is, is this blade designed to mulch AND bag? Is it a hybrid type blade? It is not straight. It as a curve in it. I ask because I was wondering if there are blades designed just for mulching that would do a better job and blades designed just for bagging/side discharge that would do a better job in picking stuff up. Murray only lists one blade for this mower, but I was wondering if any other companies may make a mulch specific blade.

Thanks,
