Ferris Zero Turn Bagger System: IS3200Z & ISX3300

The IS3200Z and ISX3300 are Ferris's big commercial zero-turns, and they take Protero's largest bagger. Choose the 14.5-bushel PV18 or the 18-bushel PV22 for 60" to 74" decks. The same fit applies to the IS3100Z, IS5100Z, IS6200Z, and ISX2200. More room between dumps means fewer stops per job.

Ferris IS600Z, IS700Z & ISX 800 Bagger

For the Ferris IS600Z, IS700Z, IS500Z, and ISX 800, 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. The IS1500Z, IS2000Z, and IS2100Z take the same two options, and the 400S and 500S take the PV13.

Ferris SRS Stand-On Bagger

Ferris SRS Z2 and SRS Z3 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. The PV13S pivots into a transport position with a single pin, so it lays flat against your trailer.

Ferris Leaf Vacuum & Leaf Bagger

Every Protero system doubles as a Ferris 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 an IS3200Z, an IS600Z, or an SRS stand-on.

Choosing Between PV13, PV18 & PV22

The PV13 fits Ferris zero-turns with 48- to 60-inch decks. The PV18 fits 48- to 72-inch decks and adds capacity for heavier workloads. The PV22 is our largest system, built for 60- and 72-inch decks and big acreage. All three dump from the seat on compatible models.

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.

“I run it about 8 to 10 hours a day and it's unstoppable. It also has great capacity. It compares to having three additional men for leaf clean up.”

Terry L., landscaping company owner, Pennsylvania

For Commercial Crews and Homeowners

Lawn care crews use Protero on Ferris IS and ISX zero-turns and SRS stand-ons to bag more properties per day with fewer stops. Homeowners use it to keep clippings off the lawn all summer and clear leaves in the fall.

Ferris Bagger FAQ

Does Protero make a grass catcher for Ferris IS series zero-turn mowers?

Yes. Protero offers the PV13, PV18, and PV22 for compatible Ferris IS series zero-turn models, including the IS500Z, IS1500Z, IS2000Z, and others. Fitment depends on your exact model, year, and deck size.

Which Protero catcher fits a Ferris with a 48-inch to 60-inch deck?

The PV13 is generally suited to Ferris zero-turns with smaller decks in the 48-inch to 60-inch range. Larger decks typically require the PV18 or PV22.

Can I use a Protero catcher on my Ferris stand-on mower?

Yes. Protero offers the PV13S and PV17S for compatible Ferris SRS stand-on models, including the SRS Z2 and SRS Z3.

How does Ferris suspension affect grass collection?

Ferris suspension systems improve ride quality and deck contact. A Protero collection system mounts to compatible deck configurations and works independently of the suspension, so collection performance is not affected.

Which Ferris models are not compatible with Protero catchers?

Several Ferris models are not compatible, including the 300S, F50XT, F125XT, F150XT, F160Z, F200XT, F210Z, ISZ, and SRS Z1.

Can a Protero Ferris catcher handle fall leaves?

Yes. Compatible Protero systems collect both grass clippings and leaves. The deck-mounted blower moves material from the deck into the rear catcher.

Can I dump it without getting off the mower?

Yes. Pull the dump lever and the hopper empties without leaving the seat.

Is it a complete kit?

Yes. Each Ferris bagger kit includes the blower, collection hose, rear container, and mounting hardware.
