Encore Bagger & Grass Catcher Systems

Dump-from-the-seat baggers, grass catchers, and leaf vacuums for Encore Caliber, Edge, Extreme, and Fuzion zero turn mowers.

Protero builds baggers for the Encore Caliber, Edge, Edge Pro, Extreme, Fuzion, and Z. 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.

Encore Zero-Turn Bagger

Protero offers the 10-bushel PV13 or 14.5-bushel PV18 for compatible Encore zero-turn mowers, including the Caliber, Edge, Edge Pro, Extreme, Fuzion, and Z. Every load dumps from the seat with one lever.

Encore Leaf Vacuum & Leaf Bagger

Every Protero system doubles as a Encore 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 Encore Owners Choose Protero

Protero's Encore grass catchers bring commercial-grade debris collection to Encore zero-turn and stand-on mowers. The PTO-driven PV18 and belt-driven PV13 systems deliver powerful suction and fast dumping, tailored to Encore mower decks from 48″ to 72″.

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.
