Exmark Lazer Z Bagger System

The Lazer Z is Exmark's commercial zero-turn, and Protero fits most of the lineup with the 14.5-bushel PV18. The Lazer Z X, XP, XS, DS, and diesel models can step up to the 18-bushel PV22 for 60" to 74" decks. More room between dumps means fewer stops per job, and the same zero turn grass catcher works as a leaf bagger in the fall.

Exmark Radius & Pioneer Bagger

For the Exmark Radius E, S, and X, including the Radius E Series, and the Pioneer E and S, choose the 10-bushel PV13 for a compact grass bagger that keeps the mower nimble, or the 14.5-bushel PV18 for more room between dumps. Both dump from the seat and handle grass and leaves.

Exmark Vertex & Vantage Stand-On Bagger

Vertex S and X and Vantage owners can choose the 10-bushel PV13S or the 14-bushel PV17S. Both run on Protero's commercial blower and dump without stepping off the platform.

Exmark Leaf Vacuum & Leaf Bagger

Every Protero system doubles as a Exmark leaf vacuum attachment, leaf catcher, and leaf collector. The same grass collector that catches clippings all summer picks up leaves as you mow in the fall, then dumps the load where you want it. There's no tow-behind lawn vacuum to buy and no bags to haul, whether you run a Lazer Z, a Radius, or a Vertex.

Aftermarket Bagger Systems for Exmark Mowers

Protero is an independent manufacturer of grass and leaf collection equipment. Our systems are designed to give mower owners another option when they need greater collection capacity, convenient unloading, and a system built for demanding grass and leaf cleanup. A Protero system is not a universal fabric bagger.

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.

For Commercial Crews and Homeowners

Lawn care crews use Protero on Lazer Z zero-turns and Vertex stand-ons to bag more properties per day with fewer stops. Homeowners use it on everything from a Radius E Series to a Lazer Z to keep clippings off the lawn all summer and clear leaves in the fall.

Exmark Models We Don’t Fit

To save you a call: Protero doesn't currently fit the Exmark Lazer Z V, Lazer Z XS Liquid Cooled, Quest, Phazer, Explorer, Staris, or Vertex V. Zero-turn and stand-on baggers also don't fit 36", 42", 46", or 50" decks. Don't see your model on this page? Give us a call.
