What is a grass catcher for a mower?
A grass catcher is a collection system that mounts to a zero-turn, stand-on, or tractor mower and uses a powered blower to move grass clippings off the deck and into a rear container. Protero grass catchers fit 30+ mower brands and hold between 10 and 18 bushels.
How does a Protero grass catcher empty?
Protero grass catchers use a dump-from-the-seat design. Pull the dump lever and the rear container empties without leaving the mower, so you avoid stopping, lifting, and reinstalling fabric bags.
Can a grass catcher collect leaves as well as grass?
Yes. The powered blower pulls grass and leaves off the deck and into the container, so the same Protero catcher handles summer mowing and fall leaf cleanup.
Which grass catcher fits my zero-turn mower?
Protero offers the PV13, PV18, and PV22 grass catchers for compatible zero-turn mowers with decks from 48 to 72 inches. The PV13 suits smaller decks, the PV18 handles mid-to-large decks, and the PV22 provides maximum capacity for the largest decks. Use the Fit My Mower guide to match the catcher to your exact model.
Is there a grass catcher for compact tractors?
Yes. Protero offers PTO-powered grass catchers for compact tractors, including the PV18 PTO and PV22 PTO. The tractor power take-off drives the collection fan, so there is no separate engine to maintain.
Does a grass catcher work on wet grass?
A powered blower keeps grass moving through the hose and into the container even when the grass is wet, reducing the clogs that fabric bag systems can experience.
How much grass does a Protero catcher hold?
Capacities range from 10 bushels on the PV13 and PV13S up to 18 bushels on the PV22 and PV22 PTO. Larger capacity means fewer stops to empty and more ground covered between dumps.
Are Protero grass catchers made in the USA?
Yes. Protero grass catchers are designed and built in Minnesota by a family-owned company.
