Bush Hog Bagger & Grass Catcher Systems

Dump-from-the-seat baggers, grass catchers, and leaf vacuums for Bush Hog HDC, HDE, and HDZ zero turn mowers.

Bush Hog Zero-Turn Bagger

Protero offers the 10-bushel PV13 or 14.5-bushel PV18 for compatible Bush Hog zero-turn mowers, including the CZ, EC, ES, HDC-2, HDC-3, HDC-4, HDE-2, and HDE-3, plus 6 more. Every load dumps from the seat with one lever.

Bush Hog Leaf Vacuum & Leaf Bagger

Every Protero system doubles as a Bush Hog leaf vacuum and leaf collector. The same catcher that picks up grass all summer handles leaves as you mow in the fall, then dumps the load where you want it. There’s no tow-behind leaf vacuum to buy and no bags to haul.

Why Bush Hog Owners Choose Protero

Protero's Bush Hog leaf and grass catchers pair commercial-grade construction with Bush Hog's reputation for toughness. Our PTO-driven blower and quick-hitch systems fit Bush Hog compact tractors and zero-turn mowers, delivering up to 14.5 bushels of collection with seat-dump convenience.

A Real Blower Behind Every Bagger

Zero-turn and stand-on systems run on Protero’s belt-driven commercial blower, the most powerful blower on the market. It pulls grass and leaves off the deck and keeps material moving into the container, even when it’s wet.
