Great Dane Zero-Turn Bagger

Protero offers the 14.5-bushel PV18 for compatible Great Dane zero-turn mowers, including the Chariot, Chariot Brutus, Chariot LX, and Chariot SR. Every load dumps from the seat with one lever.

Great Dane Leaf Vacuum & Leaf Bagger

Every Protero system doubles as a Great Dane 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 Great Dane Owners Choose Protero

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.
