Grasshopper Zero-Turn Bagger

Protero offers the 10-bushel PV13 or 14.5-bushel PV18 for compatible Grasshopper zero-turn mowers, including the 220, 223, 225, 227, 321, 325, 335, and 100V, plus 16 more. Every load dumps from the seat with one lever.

Grasshopper Leaf Vacuum & Leaf Bagger

Every Protero system doubles as a Grasshopper 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 Grasshopper Owners Choose Protero

Protero's Grasshopper catchers are designed for Grasshopper zero-turn mowers and compact tractors. With PTO-powered blowers spinning at 3,000+ RPM and quick-hitch mounting, these systems deliver serious collection power for Grasshopper operators on large properties.

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.
