Kubota Zero-Turn Grass Catchers

Kubota zero-turn mowers span several series, from the Z100 and Z200 residential lines through the Z400 and Z700 commercial models, and up to the ZD diesel and ZG gas heavy-duty machines.
Protero offers the PV13 and PV18 catchers for compatible Kubota zero-turn models, with the PV22 available for select larger models like the ZD1200, ZD1500, ZD1600, ZD28, ZD300, ZG327, ZG332, and ZP330.
The PV13 works with smaller deck configurations, while the PV18 handles larger decks and heavier collection loads. The PV22 provides maximum capacity for the largest Kubota zero-turns.
Because Kubota offers many deck sizes and both gas and diesel platforms, confirming your exact model and deck measurement is essential before choosing a catcher.
PTO-Powered Collection for Kubota Compact Tractors

Kubota is well known for its compact and sub-compact tractors, including the B series, BX series, and LX series.
For compatible Kubota tractors, Protero offers PTO-powered collection systems in multiple configurations: the PV18 PTO, PV22 PTO, PV18 PTO Max, and PV22 PTO Max.
These systems use the tractor power take-off to drive the collection fan, providing strong airflow for heavy grass and leaf collection without a separate engine.
The PTO Max models offer increased capacity for larger properties and heavier collection demands. If you maintain several acres or collect heavy fall leaves with a Kubota tractor, a PTO-powered Protero system may be the right choice.
Kubota Diesel Mower Collection Systems

Kubota diesel zero-turns like the ZD1000, ZD1200, ZD1500, ZD1600, and ZD3000 series are built for heavy-duty mowing, and they are some of the most powerful machines Protero owners ask about.
For compatible Kubota diesel models, Protero offers the PV18 and PV22 catchers, with the PV22 providing maximum capacity for the largest diesel zero-turns.
Diesel mowers are often used on large properties, commercial accounts, and municipal grounds where collection capacity and durability matter most.
If you run a Kubota diesel zero-turn, confirm your model and deck size to see which Protero catcher is available.
Kubota ZG Gas Zero-Turn Collection
The Kubota ZG series includes gas-powered zero-turns like the ZG20, ZG222, ZG227, ZG23, ZG24, ZG327, and ZG332.
Protero offers the PV18 for compatible ZG models, with the PV22 available for select larger ZG models like the ZG327 and ZG332.
Gas zero-turns are popular with homeowners and property managers who want Kubota build quality without a diesel engine, and a Protero catcher brings high-capacity collection to these machines.
Confirm your ZG model and deck size to find the right catcher.
Kubota Stand-On Mower Catchers
Kubota SZ series stand-on mowers are built for commercial productivity and maneuverability.
Protero offers the PV13s and PV17s catchers for compatible Kubota stand-on models, extending collection capability to this platform.
Stand-on mowers are often used on properties where quick dismount and tight trimming matter, and a rear catcher helps keep clippings and leaves off walkways, beds, and hard surfaces.
Choosing the Right Catcher for Your Kubota
Because Kubota makes zero-turns, tractors, and stand-on mowers, the right Protero system depends on which type of Kubota you own.
For Kubota zero-turns, the PV13, PV18, and PV22 are the primary options, matched by deck size and model.
For Kubota compact tractors, the PV18 PTO, PV22 PTO, PV18 PTO Max, and PV22 PTO Max provide PTO-powered collection across the B, BX, and LX series.
For Kubota stand-on mowers, the PV13s and PV17s are the available catchers.
- •Kubota Z100 through Z700 zero-turns — PV13 or PV18
- •Kubota ZD and ZG larger zero-turns — PV18 or PV22
- •Kubota B, BX, LX tractors — PV18 PTO through PV22 PTO Max
- •Kubota SZ stand-on — PV13s or PV17s
These are general guidelines. Always confirm your exact model, year, and deck size using the Kubota fitment guide.
Kubota Leaf Collection Across Property Types
Fall leaf cleanup is demanding for any mower, and Kubota owners maintaining larger properties face significant leaf volumes.
A Protero system collects both grass and leaves, so the same catcher works during mowing season and fall cleanup without a separate leaf vacuum.
The deck-mounted blower on zero-turn systems, or the PTO-driven fan on tractor systems, moves leaves from the deck into the rear catcher as you drive.
This is particularly useful for:
- •Large residential properties with mature trees
- •Acreage and rural properties
- •Commercial and municipal grounds
- •Properties where leaves must be removed rather than mulched
Kubota Models That Use the Kubota Blower with a Protero Catcher
Some Kubota tractor models, including the GR 2000 Series and G Series garden tractors, are compatible with the Protero catcher but use the Kubota factory blower rather than a Protero blower.
On these models, the PV13 or PV18 catcher mounts to the tractor, and the Kubota blower provides the airflow to move material into the catcher.
This is a specific configuration that applies to certain Kubota garden tractor models. If you own a GR 2000 or G Series, check the fitment guide for details on this setup.
Verifying Your Kubota Fitment
Before selecting a catcher, gather these three pieces of information:
- 1Your Kubota mower or tractor model
- 2The model year
- 3Your deck size
Then use our Kubota compatibility guide to see which Protero collection systems are available for your machine.
