Gravely Leaf Catchers & Grass Collection Systems

The correct Protero catcher depends on your exact Gravely model, model year, deck size, and deck configuration.

Here is a general starting point:

• •Pro-Turn 100 — PV13 (Zero-Turn)
• •Pro-Turn 200–400 — PV18 (Zero-Turn)
• •Pro-Turn 500–600 — PV18 or PV22 (Zero-Turn)
• •ZT HD — PV13 or PV18 (Zero-Turn)
• •ZT HD Stealth — PV13 or PV18 (Zero-Turn)
• •Pro-Stance — PV13s or PV17s (Stand-On)
• •Pro-Stance Ultra — PV13s or PV17s (Stand-On)

These are general guidelines rather than a complete fitment chart. Compatibility can vary by mower year and deck configuration. Visit the Gravely Fit My Mower page before ordering.

The Gravely Pro-Turn family includes several commercial zero-turn configurations, so choosing a grass catcher based on the exact mower and deck is important.

Protero offers the PV13, PV18, and PV22 for compatible Gravely Pro-Turn zero-turn mowers.

Compatible Pro-Turn 100 configurations typically use the Protero PV13.

The PV13 provides powered grass and leaf collection in a rear-mounted catcher and is designed for compatible smaller-deck zero-turn configurations.

If you own a Pro-Turn 100, confirm the mower year and deck size before selecting your system.

Compatible Gravely Pro-Turn 200 through 400 configurations typically pair with the Protero PV18.

The larger collection system is designed for the increased material volume produced by these commercial zero-turn mowers while providing powered airflow from the mower deck to the rear catcher.

Select Gravely Pro-Turn 500 and Pro-Turn 600 configurations can use the PV18 or PV22, depending on the mower and deck.

These larger Pro-Turn models are well suited to Protero's higher-capacity collection systems for operators who need to collect significant amounts of grass or leaves.

Because fitment varies, always confirm the exact Pro-Turn model, year, and deck size before ordering.

The Gravely ZT HD is a popular choice for homeowners maintaining larger properties and for users who want a heavy-duty residential zero-turn mower.

Protero offers the PV13 and PV18 for compatible Gravely ZT HD configurations. Compatible ZT HD Stealth models can also use Protero collection systems.

A powered collection system can be particularly useful when maintaining properties with several acres of lawn or significant fall leaf accumulation.

Rather than relying only on deck discharge to push material into traditional bags, the Protero blower moves grass and leaves from the mower deck through the collection hose and into the rear catcher.

Protero also manufactures grass and leaf collection systems for compatible Gravely Pro-Stance and Pro-Stance Ultra stand-on mowers.

The PV13s and PV17s extend Protero's collection system to the stand-on mower platform.

Stand-on mowers are commonly used where maneuverability, visibility, and frequent mounting and dismounting are important. Adding a compatible rear collection system allows operators to collect grass clippings and leaves while retaining the advantages of the stand-on mower.

Protero stand-on catchers are especially useful for maintaining properties where discharged material needs to be kept away from landscaping, sidewalks, driveways, and other finished areas.

Protero offers several catcher sizes because one collection system is not ideal for every Gravely mower.

The PV13 is generally used on compatible smaller-deck Gravely zero-turn configurations, including select Pro-Turn and ZT HD models.

Best for: Compatible smaller and mid-size Gravely zero-turn configurations.

The PV18 is designed for compatible mid-to-large Gravely zero-turn configurations and is used across several Pro-Turn models.

Best for: Compatible Gravely commercial zero-turn mowers requiring greater collection capacity.

The PV22 is Protero's largest zero-turn collection option and is available for select larger Gravely configurations, including certain Pro-Turn 500 and 600 models.

Best for: Compatible larger Gravely zero-turn configurations where maximum collection capacity is important.

The PV13s and PV17s are designed for compatible stand-on mower applications, including select Gravely Pro-Stance and Pro-Stance Ultra configurations.

Best for: Compatible Gravely stand-on mowers.

One of the biggest differences between a compatible Protero collection system and a traditional multi-bag system is how the collected material is unloaded.

Compatible Protero dump-from-the-seat systems allow the operator to empty the catcher without manually removing and dumping individual collection bags.

That can make a significant difference when collecting large volumes of grass or leaves across a large property.

Instead of repeatedly stopping, getting off the mower, removing bags, emptying them, reinstalling them, and returning to work, the operator can unload a compatible Protero catcher directly from the mower.

The exact dumping configuration depends on the Protero catcher and Gravely mower combination, so confirm compatibility before purchasing.

A Gravely mower equipped with a compatible Protero catcher can be used for more than collecting grass clippings.

The same collection system can collect fall leaves while you mow, eliminating the need for a completely separate leaf collection system for many properties.

A deck-mounted blower moves leaves and grass through the collection hose and into the rear catcher as the mower travels across the lawn.

This makes a Protero system particularly useful for:

• •Large residential properties
• •Properties with mature trees and heavy leaf drop
• •Multi-acre lawns
• •Commercial lawn and landscape accounts
• •Properties requiring repeated fall cleanups

For property owners who already use a Gravely zero-turn or stand-on mower, adding a compatible Protero system allows the mower to become part of the fall leaf-cleanup process.

Protero collection systems fit many Gravely mowers, but not every Gravely model is compatible.

According to the current compatibility information, Protero does not fit:

• •Compact-Pro
• •Pro-Stance EV
• •Pro-Turn EV
• •Rapid XZ
• •ZT
• •ZT X
• •ZT XL

If your mower appears on this list, contact Protero before ordering. If your mower is not listed here, that does not automatically mean it is compatible. Always confirm the exact model, year, and deck size using the Gravely compatibility guide.

Before choosing a Protero grass catcher, have three pieces of information ready:

1. 1Gravely mower model
2. 2Model year
3. 3Mower deck size

Then visit the Gravely Fit My Mower page to find the Protero systems available for your particular mower. This detailed compatibility check is important because two Gravely mowers from the same series can use different decks or configurations.
