Cub Cadet Bagger & Grass Catcher Systems

Dump-from-the-seat baggers, grass catchers, and leaf vacuums for Cub Cadet Pro-Z, Ultima ZTX, and Z-Force zero turn mowers and the Pro X 600 stand-on.

Protero builds baggers for the Cub Cadet Pro-Z 100 through 900, the Ultima ZTX and ZTXS, the Tank, the Z-Force, and the Pro X 600 stand-on. Each one is an aftermarket bagging system: collect grass and leaves in a high-capacity rear container, then dump the whole load with one lever without leaving the seat.

Cub Cadet Stand-On Bagger

Cub Cadet stand-on owners running the Pro X 600 and Pro X 600 EFI can choose 10-bushel PV13S or 14-bushel PV17S. Both run on Protero’s belt-driven commercial blower and empty without stepping off the platform.

Cub Cadet Leaf Vacuum & Leaf Bagger

Every Protero system doubles as a Cub Cadet 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 Cub Cadet Owners Choose Protero

Protero's Cub Cadet catchers deliver professional-grade collection power for Cub Cadet zero-turn mowers, stand-on units, and compact tractors. From the 10-bushel PV13 to the 14.5-bushel PV18 PTO, each system is custom-fitted to Cub Cadet decks and built in the USA from heavy-duty materials.

Protero Cub Cadet Catcher Features

Custom-fit for Cub Cadet zero-turn mowers, 48″–72″ decks • 14.5 bushel capacity for large-property maintenance • Dump lever empties full load without leaving the seat • 3/16″ molded polyethylene and tubular steel frame • 7″ intake for strong suction performance • 8″ boot and intake hose included

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.
